I'm going to make a very strange suggestion for a book. I'm doing this because I used to be afraid of social situations because I just didn't know what to do. How to start conversations, how to keep them going, etc. When I read this book I learned there are ways that I can do.

Also the books is a story, not a non-fiction self-help book. Its main subject has to do with picking up women, but the stuff is very applicable to general social situations.

The book is called The Game by Neil Strauss.

Here's a review I wrote of it after I read it.
