Not my usual reading material! But it was on a list of auto/biographies I'm working my way through, and I came across a copy so why not. It was an interesting look into an industry from the perspective of one of its producers, and the text is chatty and informative without being exploitative. It's clear the author has affection and respect for both the porn business and the people he works with. And you know what? Jeremy comes across as a pretty decent guy. Which was my first reaction and kind of a prejudiced one, as I think on it, because there's no reason for porn stars to be fundamentally that different from the rest of us. Truth be told, it's not as if I've ever given them a lot of thought before this, and reading about how a kid from an everyday family sort of falls into porn and comes to find value in it provides a genuinely thought-provoking perspective.

I'm sure some people will say that it's a disgraceful account of a disgraceful industry and that the fibre of a community is weakened thereby and so forth, but I've taken a quick look at how people have shelved this book on Goodreads, and, at time of writing, 77 people can't tell the difference between "autobiography" and "biography", and 19 benighted souls have shelved this as "science". That is a far more depressing snapshot if you ask me. At least Jeremy is fucking literate.
