I am generally not a fan of self-help kind of books, and a feminist one at that, would definitely be a no-no. At least that's what I always thought. But then there are good self-help books too, so its definitely not right to just discard an entire genre. I have read two such books, which I think at least point out to the right problems, even if they may not be able to give the perfect solution!

They could actually imagine all this happening and poor Columbus trying to a

As we were getting ready to say good-bye, I looked at him and seen tears in his eyes, I had no idea how much it was hurting him to watch me walk away, But there was nothing I could do or say, So I held my head up and and tried to be strong, Little did I know I'd have to put him in my past and move on, How am I suppose to put all the memories behind me, It's not all that easy, My head's telling me to let him go, My mind is telling me to hold on just a little longer, I guess what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. ...........
