This is the latest book that our neighbourhood book club is reading. It’s the biography of porn star, Jenna Jameson. To be honest, I’d never heard of her (still haven’t though I’ve IMDBed her and she’s done a ton of movies).

It was an interesting read – discovering how she became one of the most famous porn stars. If you are looking for a light read (but a heavy book – there are lots of pix of her) and enjoy learning about others, you’ll enjoy it. Warning: the language is quite colourful and descriptive.

There is quite a variety of books read in our club. Everyone gets a turn to pick a book. We’ve read stuff by James Joyce, Lance Armstrong, Janet Evanovich, Nino Ricci, Alastair McLeod and many more.

it’s actually quite readable. after watching my sister read it all through my christmas vacation, I figured I’d pick it up and give it a try – and there’s actually something to it. the story isn’t anything too surprising – stripper turns nude model turns adult film actress turns star. add in a sprinkling of bad relationships, bad decisions, bad and good drugs, and eating disorders, and, well, that’s about what I expected. but there’s something very compelling about her sense of self-worth, her drive and her determination that I really like.
