"NPR host Sagal offers a hilarious, harmlessly prurient look at the banality of regular people's strange and wicked pleasures." --
Publishers Weekly



Somewhere, somebody is having more fun than you are.



Or so everyone believes. Peter Sagal, a mild-mannered, Harvard-educated radio host -- the man who puts the second "l" in "vanilla" -- decided to find out if it's true. From strip clubs to gambling halls to swingers clubs to porn sets and back to the strip clubs (but only because he left his glasses there), Sagal explores what the sinful folk do, how much they pay for the privilege, and how exactly they got those funny red marks.



"Deliciously funny." --
Chicago Tribune



"Sagal's guide to excessive misbehavior and a life of vice touches on what he calls 'imaginatively naughty things.'" --
USA Today



"In this investigation of our human frailty, Peter Sagal combines intellect, sympathy, moral perspective, and common sense to produce -- of all things -- laughter." -- P. J. O'Rourke


"Sagal... charms readers with the same wit, humility, and observational prowess he uses to win over the dipso-, nympho-, and assorted other maniacs he encounters." --
Radar



"Sagal drolly skewers human misbehavior as he reports on the making of a porn video, visits a CPA to the rich and famous, shoots craps, and partakes of a lavish multicourse dinner at Alinea only to leave hungry." --
Chicago magazine


"
The Book of Vice is the kind of book full of passages so deliciously funny that you keep elbowing the nearest person and saying, 'Listen, I just have to read you this bit.'" --
St. Petersburg Times
