Wealth and fame she's ignored.

I just finished The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists. It's the first book since my teen years to make me want to turn right to the front and start reading it over again as soon as I'd finished. I don't have much interest in sleeping with hot women, but I could feel the pick up working on me even as a voyeur, knowing exactly what was going on. To understand it is to know myself better. I saw how characters that I've found sexy and attractive had these same characteristics and ways. A masterpiece it's not; Neil Strauss is an engaging and capable writer, but he's not a 10, but if, like me, you struggled with the social 'game' and have yet to master it, if you've been 'shit tested' many times and failed, if you wonder why some guys got it, it's a tantalizing glimpse of the answers. ETA: The bible styling, with faux leather cover and red ribbon bookmark, was kinda fun. Like a good pick-up, it was a bit cheezy but strangely difficult not to like. I think all books should come with ribbon place keepers.
