Hunter S. Thompson
 

so i've been reading his latest book "Kingdom of Fear", i gotta say it's incredible. it's the first thing i've read by him. i think next i'm gonna read "Songs of the Doomed".

anyone else here an HST fan?

I'm gonna order his F&L book & 2 others for reading after surgery, which is on the 27th btw....cards & flowers would really cheer me up :) ::hint hint::

Or strippers & morphine

Hunter S Kicks ass.

I just finished The Great Shark Hunt last night...good book. But Fear and Loating in Las Vegas and Kingdom of Fear are my favorites so far.

He just has a sense of rhythm to the world, or to people, or the country or something. Good stuff.

he is my fav, i cannot say enough about him.

What she said.

Yeah he's rad... .i love F&L the movie doesn' tdo the book justice.

Paul fr Consumption Junction's writings remind me of him.

:thumbsup

I bet most of the morons in here don't know who and how brilliant he is....but do yourselves a favor and read "The Rum Diary". It's absolutely amazing...

I've read "Fear and Loathing" and "Hell's Angels". I recommend them both.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion.



The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!

The one Thompson quote that is a mantra around here! :thumbsup

I would highly recommend reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the two movies on Thompson just doesn't do it justice!

HST fucking rules. When I was a kid I read the book where he travels with the bikers. I was scarred.

yah, who's trying to have a fear & loathing experience in las vegas this summer? i can get the drugs but the other person has to get the car and the gorilla

He inspired me to start using a cigarette holder. It's amazing you really can't help but talk like him when you use one.
