Two essential reads, imo:
The Way of the Superior Man - Deida
ModeOne - Alan Roger Curie
Also:
No matter what anyone else thinks of him, Tyler Durden has written a couple of key articles, that I read years ago, that helped me get in the permanent mindset needed to be successful. The one that I like in-particular is called "Secret Society". Its premise holds very true in terms of the difference between a guy who gets laid regularly and one who does not.
Some of his better stuff is the articles that get into inner game, value, etc..and not so much the "situational pickup" type of stuff. A lot of it is useful as a framework to keep in the back of your mind. It can keep you from behaving in unnatractive ways.
Everthying that I mention here is designed to change you as a person, in terms of how you think about your relationship to women, It doesn't so much to teach you how to pick up on a situation by situation basis. Reading the stuff that changes your inner thought process is what will turn you into a playboy, not reading about lines/indirect techniques/ etc..
What I've mentioned here, once you read, reread and really understand it, (and then practice it) will turn you into what you want to become. Especially the first two books and the article I recommended.
Once you really get into it, you can try some Zan type stuff, as I do see the value to it. But let me know if you figure it out how to get good at it, because it seems like you have to be a bit of a natural to apply his approach well.
