Any point in reading a book on body language?

When I read about humans, I don't think about myself as one, and have therefore distanced my self from people completely- which is not what I initially intended.
I know exactly what you mean. I can figure people out very well. But I cannot connect to them. There have been times when I'll be watching a group of people and I get this feeling of not being like them at all. Even a little. It's hard to explain just how total this feeling is. Although I suspect many here will be familiar with it.

I've actually bought books and tried, because I was sick of being defenceless through not knowing when I was being lied to or played with. I now recognise a tiny bit of the most obvious BL, but study hasn't been illuminating on the whole. I guess it doesn't hurt, but I've found it's sometimes a really intuitive thing.

I found reading a body language book really helped me, especially with spotting group behaviour, and it was an interesting and highly enjoyable read too.
Which book did you read?

I've read articles on body language. I often get things in theory, however, when it actually happens I still sometimes miss it. But it did help me a little bit.
