The Surrender: An Erotic Memoir
by Toni Bentley
May I suggest a different kind of memoir that I really loved - what I would call a palate cleanser for this Toni Bentley book.

That this abominable memoir was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year does neither writers of explicit material nor their audience a favor. It is difficult to critique this book without being explicit myself, but suffice it to say that this pun-filled, psychologically-shallow, factually-untrustworthy, and insight-vacant book does not deserve the acknowledgment it received. Not that you were interested in the subject, of course.
Some puns she thought clever went along these lines: a look within what she can't live without, the inner secrets of her exit chamber, an up-front scoop on the back end, the truths that come out from what goes in. Get the picture? Now wash your eyes.
