I was always fascinated with Diablo Cody after seeing her do lots of press circuits when promoting the movie Juno. I then learned she used to live in Minneapolis, which is my neck of the woods---and she stripped at some of the local establishments. I had to read this book.

Diablo went from a copyrighter, to participating at amateur night at a strip club, to a full fledged stripper. She doesn't hold back on the details and its pretty humorous at times.

Her stories about the men and women she met through her time as a stripper are really interesting and make the book what it is. I definitely recommend you read this book, but beware that sometimes things get graphic.
