<p>Ding ding ding. While everybody else was busy debating the first presidential debate last night, bidding for <a href="http://observer.com/2012/10/the-inevitable-lena-dunham-book-proposal/">Lena Dunham's book,</a> tentatively titled <em>Not That Kind of Girl</em><em>,</em> climbed to 3.6 million, <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2012/10/lena-dunham-book-bidding-at-3-6-million/">DeadlineNY reports</a>.</p>
<p>And the bidding is not over yet--it is expected to go even higher. No word from her literary agent, Kim Witherspoon (who herself was a young literary star--founding her own agency at the Dunham-appropriate age of 26) at InkWell Management, on when the "unique" auction will end, or who is in the running to publish the book. Ms. Witherspoon represents big-name female authors like Sophie Kinsella, Lionel Shriver and Rebecca Wells, as well as celebrity chefs such as Anthony Bourdain and Gabrielle Hamilton.</p>
<p>Looks like Ms. Dunham is <em>that</em> kind of girl--the kind who can get multimillion-dollar book advances.</p>
