I'm looking for a good book or two that can help me with making friends and socializing. I'm an adult with Aspergers.

I have no friends and and trying to make some. I've learned that I need to socialize and make some friends because I have none. I'm also realizing (from experience) that in order to make friends it requires effort on my part (and staying in touch)

Are there any books that would help me with this? It doesn't have to be specifically for Aspergers or Autism. The few books I found related to Aspergers were for children or people who have a more severe form of autism.

Any help would be appreciated
