Random House paid Lena Dunham a $3.7 million advance for a "planned" book and people have been buzzing about the seven-figure paycheck since an excerpt from the book was released on the web.

Dunham, the 26-year-old creator of the HBO show "Girls," sold the book, "Not That Kind of Girl," to Random House in October on the basis of a 66-page proposal. The publishing house called her a "rare literary talent" and reported parts of the book include a reproduction of a diary Dunham kept of what she ate in 2010, according to Gawker.

The website described the book as "an invitation to get lost in the mind of a girl who is lost in her own mind," describing it as a "frank and funny advice on everything from sex to eating to traveling to work." 

The Huffington Post called the leaked proposal "compulsive reading," and said it "should help build the hype over the book itself."

Here is the leaked excerpt from "Not That Kind of Girl," courtesy of the Post:

"I'm already predicting my future shame at thinking I had anything to offer you, but also my future glory in having stopped you from trying an expensive juice cleanse or thinking that it was your fault when some guy suddenly got weird and defensive talking about your cool interests and job.

"I basically didn't meet a Republican until I was nineteen, when I shared an ill-fated evening of love-making with our campus' resident conservative, who worse snakeskin boots and hosted a radio show called The Spin Chamber.

"He was Snidely Whiplash and I was the innocent girl tied to the tracks, but I didn't want Dudley DoRight to come.

"We had sex once and afterwards Allen wiped his penis on his own curtain, which made me feel I was a veteran of a war too gruesome to tell anyone about.

"My friend Elizabeth put it well when she said 'I don't mind the idea of dying but I'm stressed out about the logistics of the whole thing.' Totally."
