Skipping Towards Gomorrah: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America is a non-fiction book by Dan Savage, first published in 2002 by Dutton. The book examines the concept of happiness in American culture, as obtained by indulging in each of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Skipping Towards Gomorrah was selected for inclusion in The Best American Sex Writing 2004,[1] and won a Lambda Literary Award in 2003.[2][3][4] The book received a favorable reception from reviews in Publishers Weekly,[5] Library Journal,[6] and Kirkus Reviews.[7] A review in Flagpole Magazine was critical of the book's organization, and observed that the writing wandered a bit,[8] while a review in Gay Today commented, "Those who agree with Savage's views will like his book while those who disagree will hate it; in either case there will be no converts."[9]
