What are the best books for the pickup artist to be?

Check out the stuff by Ross Jeffries.
He has this 'Speed Seduction' techinique that REALLY does work. It's loosely based on NLP techniques) He's a real arrogant/[censored], but his stuff works so he's entitled to be a jerk.

I have some of his tapes and CD's. I'm a real skeptic but honestly, his concepts and techniques are very effective. I use his techniques in a more 'passive' manner.

And, the 'speed seduction' techniques can be used in other situations (like influencing co-workers)

It's a totally lame site but has a lot of info (if you buy into his theory)
