Party of One:The Loners' Manifesto" by Anneli S. Rufus
DPC'er Mark of SRQ originally posted this title in a thread and I am now only half-way through reading it and I wish I could make it required reading in every school in every country of the world. You don't have to be a hard-core loner to enjoy and benefit from this wonderful book. And thank you, Mark, for first introduing me to this amazing work.

Kyle, now you made me curious.
I just placed a hold on a copy at my library (and all that from my computer - I LOVE the internet)! |

Someone else recommended this book to me. Is it really that good?

I posted this because I have noticed that quite a few of us on this site are some or all of the following: loners/or at least like a tad more time alone than "average", introverted/shy, creative/artistic, appear to create some extraordinary relations within the online community, depression, and the list goes on. This book, while like any other - can always be picked apart, for me brings together a constellation of facts, theories, literature, studies, real life anecdotes and much more to create an awesome new evolution of thought towards "the loner". I really wish I could have everyone read it. It's one of the best I have found for the loner him/herself and/or the rest of the world that has to live side-by-side with us. But if you read it and hate it, please forgive me for my personal enthusiasm!!!!!

Promise I will shut up after this . . . it is only $10.17 (USA) on Amazon, with new & used available from $3.99. Not bad in my opinion. Cool photo on the front, too! lol

Hey Kyle,
You finally got to reading it huh? You probably read more of it than I did. I should pick it up again and start over. Here is the thread where I mentioned the book. The thread itself makes for some interesting reading for everyone too.
Glad you are enjoying the book. One thing I remember thinking while reading it was something like, "Wow she really took a risk writing a book like this , but she nailed it." I guess attempting to write any manifesto is a bit risky, because you are speaking for a large group of people (At least in this case. The Unibomber's manifesto hopefully doesn't have as many disciples). So you better get it right.
Mark

| This sounds like a book I could really get into. I'm definitely happier alone than in the company of (too) many people. Thanks for the recommendation! |

Thanks, Mark, for finding the original thread and posting it. It was an important one for me. Yes - the book nails it. So many "THAT'S ME" experiences reading it, that my head is spinning.

No problem. I just did a keyword search in the forums using the word "loner." Yeah, I also remember having those, "that's me" moments, while reading it.

| I added it to my amazon wish list as a reminder next time I'm looking for a good book. (not a lot of free time right now...) It really sounds like something I'll relate to though, and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the recommendation! |

Another reason it is easy for me to follow her thoughts - East Bay is one of the places I lived for a while. Very cool - thanks!
