6. How to Survive for girls by Lisabeth Salander*

That would be a good one.

*For those who don't know, Salander is the heroine in Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, known here as The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but in the original Swedish was titled Män Som Hatar Kvinnor, Men Who Hate Women.

I recommend both the books, and the Swedish version of the movies, but not the English language version which horribly miscasts Lisabeth.
