Great list. You’re hilarious! And such wonderful organizing skills, too: the fact that I read #5, Wet Nursing Your Grandchildren, then #6, Pump Him Hard, made me laugh out loud. Ah, timing.

These are hilarous. I like to read “Serial Killing for Dummies” when I’m on the train…

But wouldn’t it be fun to dare someone to sit on the Tube holding it open? Like one of them Candid Camera-type shows.

Hitman’s Handbook is a real book. I ordered it from Amazon before it got banned because of protests. Then I threw it out a couple years ago because I realized it was stupid. I just looked online. I probably could have made some money selling it on eBay.

Are the rest of the books for real, too? I think the tripe diet has already worked for me by convincing me not to have lunch. I’d love to read Hairy Potter on the subway. I might get a reaction, even in this town.

I am often afraid to been seen in public with some of my research materials (The History of Fornication, for example –yes, real book).

Your list makes mine look tame.

I thought that ‘Cooking Cats the Italian way” would be popular. I wish I’d bought the rights when they were offered to me …..

That’s some generally good advice, but I have to disagree with you on a couple of them. I frequently read “You and Ebola” or “The Hitman’s Handbook” on crowded busses, streetcars and subways. I find that I always get a seat and plenty of room to spread my legs (short though they may be) and stretch out if I so choose.

I once made the mistake of reading Seduction By Way of Meth on the subway. Now there’s picture of me in picture transport with a big red line through it.

Very funny post, Tiggy! I’d actually like copies of Cooking Cats the Italian Way and Living With Sores. Are they available for the Kindle?
