2011 Random Read #6...Screenwriter Diablo Cody

    Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper is the memoir of Diablo Cody, Academy Award winning Screenwriter of 'Juno', in which she recounts her adventures, which she was driven to by the sheer boredom and monotony of modular office life, in the sex industry (stripping and peepshows) in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
    Written with observations made with eyes for the grotesque and ears for the absurd, Cody spun it all with the wit viewers of her movies are fondly familiar with.
    While I don't recommend this book to any in the possession of either a weak stomach or of a puritanical disposition, I found it a quick (at just over 200 pages), funny and lighthearted departure from the average fare.
