...but the book doesn't go to page 206; it ends on 148: Start Where You Are" by Pema Chödrön. What does that mean? I'm afraid to find out!

I presented the challenge to Mrs. 75th. Her answer came up: “She was tired and sore, happy and worried.”

Maybe this is it: the second closest book: The Hindus by Wendy Doniger, p. 206:

"Not surprisingly, the Kama-sutra in general gives very short shrift to moksha (1.2.4) and even applies the term, surely tongue in cheek, to the courtesan's successful jettisoning ("setting free") of an unwanted lover"

That applies all right!

Whoever wrote the Kama Sutra can speak for himself, but I have experienced the glories of moksha--and nirvana--every time I have made love to my wife!

And that describes my love life perfectly!

I think a lot of us have seen that page in books from FedGov or in our own lives. The closest fiction book is the fifth closest book, one my wife is re-reading:

“She had placed his DVD player on the floor. She looked at him, still holding the whip in her hand.”
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[I had to go to the second sentence to make it interesting.]
