In Skipping Towards Gomorrah, Dan Savage eviscerates the right-wing conservatives as he commits each of the Seven Deadly Sins himself (or tries to) and finds those everyday Americans who take particular delight in their sinful pursuits. Among them:
Combine a unique history of the Seven Deadly Sins, a new interpretation of the biblical stories of Sodom and Gomorrah, and enough Bill Bennett, Robert Bork, Pat Buchanan, Dr. Laura, and Bill O'Reilly bashing to more than make up for their incessant carping, and you've got the most provocative book of the fall.
2002 Lambda Literary Award Finalist, Humor.

Skipping Towards Gomorrah: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America
Dan Savage, of Savage Love fame, decides he'll check out the Seven Deadly Sins and give you an updated account. It's interesting and often rather scary; he neither tries to glorify sinful behavior nor condemn it in advance. He just wants to find out the facts for himself, and let you know what he discovered.
He's quite imaginative about picking a good modern example of each sin. His descriptions of the bizarre people who think that extreme obesity is attractive were fascinatingly disgusting, and I liked his meeting with the very upmarket prostitute and her gay hooker boyfriend. His brushes with gambling and gun culture were also well done, and thought-provoking in a less dramatic way. At the end of the book, you agree that there's a reason why they're called Deadly Sins. A fine piece of journalism.
