Here are some other titles you might like:    More So how did I make up the list?  I listen.  The older classics were selected by a former employer of mine, he was very in touch with his feminine side, if you catch my drift...  I'm sure I've omitted a lot of great titles and the few listed are in no particular order.  So if you feel strongly about a title, one way or another, want to suggest your favorite, just send me feedback.   Also note:  Because I've selected some older titles, availability may be limited.
