I feel like when I read this forum, I am one of few who has actually read Mystery Method.

I think people don't quite understand just how fundamental Mystery Method is to the way game is understood these days.

If you have read The Game, you will know that Mystery taught the rest of the community everything they know. His processes are the building blocks of current PUA theory. Whether you choose to follow his method to the T, or just pick and choose the relevant info (which I assure you, almost all of it is), this book, and the others in my list, will enlighten you.

Basically, what I wanted to do with this post is stress just how important doing the recommended reading is. Only practice is more important. But I would recommend to anyone reading this, that before they waste more time on reading forums, they read some proper books.

Here is a list of reading material (which you can all add to in the comments) that I think are crucial for understanding game and the people who play it (including understanding yourself).

-The Mystery Method - Mystery

-Models - Mark Manson

-The Definitive Book of Body Language - Allan and Barbara Pease

-The Game - Neil Strauss

edit: Some formatting and clarity.

Quick update: General consensus is positive. I included The Game because of the light it sheds on the PUA attitude and lifestyle, I think it allows for us to stay grounded.
