The Top 10 self-help books
continued from page 1
The Real Rules
One of the self-help books I hate most is The Rules, a nasty little volume that tries to convince you that manipulating a potential partner will help you live happily ever after. The author of The Real Rules - self-help guru Barbara de Angelis - agrees with my assessment of the original book and proposes an alternative scenario: deal honestly and openly with a potential partner and speedily dump any potential partner who doesn't deal honestly and openly with you. De Angelis is a great writer, who talks common sense - and my only objection to the book is that she uses about 15 different typefaces on each page, so the overall impression is that she is shouting at you the whole time.
The Real Rules, by Barbara de Angelis (HarperCollins, price £6.99)
Guide to Getting It On
This is one of the best sex books on the market. It's not for the fainthearted, dealing with the nuts and bolts of down and dirty sex. It's clear, accurate, funny and above all helpful, telling what you never dared to ask about sex, in full detail. Do you want to know exactly how to give a really good blow job, how to make love when you're on your period and precisely what it feels like when you have intercourse? Undoubtedly aimed at the youth market, Guide to Getting It On is an excellent read for anyone of any age wanting to be truly informed about sex.

Women's Pleasure
When it comes to sex, I get more letters about women's orgasms than any other subject. Women ask how to have them, men ask how to give them - and everyone wants to know how to get more of them. Women's Pleasure is the best book on the subject: a step-by-step guide to how to make yourself more orgasmic. It's well written, with none of the technical detail that often stops me recommending sex manuals, and above all it helps you get places. An added recommendation is that the author herself didn't have an orgasm until she was in her mid-30s and then sorted her problem out all by herself!
