Men and their favorite books

I read a lot and I seem to be reading a lot of Men's type books. Some of you know that I didn't have my dad around a lot when i was younger so I didn't really learn all the staples of a man's wardrobe, bar, etiquette(I still don't know this) but I do have my ever faithful Alpha male genetics to help me through most of it.

Anywho lately I have found myself reading a few intersting books:

How to be a Man by Glenn O'Brien
NLP: The New Technology of Achievement
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Stuff Every Man Should Know
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
The Game
Catcher in the Rye
The Count of Monte Cristo
Charles & Ray Eames: 1907-1978, 1912-1988 Pioneers of Mid-Century Modernism
One The Road by Jack Kerouac
The Selfish Gene
ANABOLICS, 10th Ed. (William Llewellyn's ANABOLICS)
An Introduction to Zen Buddhism
Meditation for Dummies
Mied Kampf(I found it to be crazy but interesting)

Please share some of the books that you have read lately that interested you as a man......

I'm a woman, but I'm curious what you thought about The Game. I'm reading The Manual by Steve Santagati right now. A female friend of mine told me I'd be disgusted by it because let's just say he doesn't beat around the bush about what men think when it comes to women and relationships, but I've actually found it to be refreshingly honest.

To give you an idea I have a huge fascination with male and female psychology and how women see men in dating, I started to read this book as well as other along with David D when I hit a rut with women, and it dawned on me that I hit a rutt because I wasn't being my typical Alpha male self and letting the female perspective of dating into my head.

I think The Game gives a good direction to dating if it doesn't come naturally which once reading it and talking with my best of friends they said that I normally do anyways but when I actually take the situation to seriously is when I lose it. I noticed the same as I am very sarcastic and I do a lot of counter intuitive stuff to begin and my confidence can be taken as arrogance. I can literally say that every girl I have ever dated bluntly told me that they thought I was an *kitten* or very confident.

I feel that this book is not as "rough" as the one you speak of and at give someone a guide to dating or at the very least becoming more in themselves and their own self worth/confidence. It also focuses on how women choose a mate even though 90% of women will argue that this is untrue but how the womens subconscious really have a bigger effect on the decision making process then they let on.
