You bros have to read this book if you haven't already.

Autobiographical account by a short, stocky Jewish Penn Law grad (actually an AUSA, not a biglawyer) who goes on a crappy blind date in the West Village (on his birthday), and then is grabbed off the street and tossed into a car by three ghetto-dwellers.
He spends the next three days in their captivity as they drain his bank account and discuss what to do with him.
YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
It is really a riveting 180 book and the dude is a good writer.

On January 21, 1998, the night before his thirty-eighth birthday, federal prosecutor Stanley N. Alpert was kidnapped off the streets of Manhattan by a car full of gun-toting thugs looking to use his ATM card. He ended up blindfolded in a Brooklyn apartment as his captors changed their plans, alternately threatening him and his family, seeking legal advice, expounding on the "gangsta" life, and offering him the services of their prostitute girlfriends as a birthday present. All the while, Alpert, still blindfolded, talked with them, played on their attitudes and fears, and memorized every detail he could in the event that he ever managed to get out of there alive.
Filled with immediacy, drama, and extraordinary characters, The Birthday Party reads like a thriller-but every word is true
