I have to be brief, because I have less than thirty days left to
turn in my new book. The publisher told me that some of you have
already placed advance orders for it, which is an amazing leap of
faith, considering that you don’t even know what it’s about yet

That said, you will be the first to know. If possible, I will show
you, instead of telling you.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that, after reading the lists of
all your favorite non-fiction books of the last century, I’ve
selected the most popular and made it the next selection for our
VIP List Book Club. Oddly - and you all must be psychic - many of
the people I spent time with for the new book also listed this
novel as one of their favorites: the gargantuan Atlas Shrugged by
Ayn Rand.

We start the journey this Monday, at 5 p.m. Pacific Time, and will
continue every week after until we’ve read the last didactic page.
If you are an Ayn Rand expert, we’d love you to get on the first
call to provide an introduction to her work and philosophy. And
obviously you’re all welcome to read with us.

So if you’re interested in reading the book together, send an email
to me at (sorry list is currently closed) but sign up at www.neilstrauss.com to get info on the next book club reading.
As soon as I meet my deadline for this book, I have some hopefully
useful hard-earned game and life advice to send your way. So thanks
for being patient.

Hope all’s well with you. And, to answer some of your questions in
advance: let her go - if she was the one, she wouldn’t be making
you feel like this right now.

Yours In Stuff,
Neil

P.S. For some crazy, mysterious reason known only to those at
Google, my own homepage, www.neilstrauss.com, has dropped from the
first page of the results for searches of my name to like the
hundredth page.

So if you’re inclined to help out with some “inbound links,” as
they call them in the biz, here’s the code to put up on your blog,
your website, or the front door of your house:

<a href=”http://www.neilstrauss.com/“>Neil Strauss - New York Times
best-selling author of The Game and The Dirt</a>

Thanks to Matt and Tim at SureSite Design for the code. Thanks to
you for knowing what to do with it. Feel free to substitute
something funnier or more interesting to describe the link.

P.P.S. Quote of the day:

“If a man will begin with certainty, he shall end in doubts; but
if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in
certainties.”

-Francis Bacon, Advancement of Learning, 1605
