How to tell you’re a nerd: Method 209 (or Demons and duels in “Downtown”)

When asked, “What are you reading?” you reply as follows:

“A series of books called Sandman Slim, about a guy who gets transported to Hell while he is still alive, and has to to fight in a Hellion gladiatorial arena for several years before escaping to Los Angeles.  Part of me knows I should dislike it because the writing is very unpolished, but the irreverent, ‘I don’t care’ attitude of the main character is surprisingly engrossing.”
