Question: “How does a girl go from being a shy, awkward bookworm to the biggest porn star in the world?” Answer: by sucking extremely well. Said megastar / adult entertainment conglomerate / nice girl after all (circle one or more) Tera Patrick presents and signs Sinner Takes All. Subtitled “A Memoir of Love and Porn,” the book — co-written with entertainment journalist Carrie Borzillo — travels through the united states of Tera to reveal how she lost her virginity, firefighter orgies, working in an orgy-free nursing home, and how she struggles to save her marriage and stave off depression. Possibly a new and penetrating insight into the modern pornography of too much information, you might as well drop in and gawp — it's all down time until the Kitten Natividad memoirs, anyway.
