American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics by Dan Savage

4.0

Dan Savage is just that delightful mix of snark, sex advice, and politics, and his book is a satisfying look at an assortment of social and political issues from gay marriage to death with dignity. Now granted, I'm a big liberal, but there were definitely parts of the book that had me laughing out loud and basking in Dan's smart, swift cuts to bigotry, misogyny, and the crazy Christians out there. But whether you agree with him or not, he raises a lot of good points and makes a well-thought out case for his opinions, backed by examples and studies. And if you aren't in tears reading the chapter about his mom, I don't think you have a heart in your body. Thoroughly enjoyable book and it makes me happy to have Dan's activist voice out there sticking it to the Santorums of the world.
