The Other Hollywood by Legs McNeil
"The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Industry". I wanted to read something epic and accessible, something entertaining. I'd thought about giving Gone With the Wind a shot and I might go back to it later but I don't know. Those fake slave dialects were getting on my nerves. So I'm reading McNeil's history of the porn industry instead. It's epic like Gone With the Wind but epic in a different way, maybe. The ideals aren't as noble.
I liked McNeil's oral history of punk rock, Please Kill Me and The Other Hollywood was something I'd wanted to read for awhile. I'd forgotten about it until I came across it the other night listed in Kindle's catalogue.
