Hunter S Thompson

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Anyone read his stuff? I'm going to start with the Hell's Angels book

Hunter S. Thompson is one of my biggest inspirations. My facebook photo for a long time was me with a cig mimicking him with a top hat on.

You're in for a treat.

 

[Danielson]

No one else chimed in? Cmon man

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I don't think there are many readers on this board

Always mark for Hicks.

What kinda stuff does this guy write? Mostly into horror, occult fiction, sci-fi and such.

Most notably probably fear and loathing in las vegas. It was made into a movie with Johnny Depp

 

[Danielson]

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

 

[Danielson]

“So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?”

 

[Danielson]

“There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.”

@deth you'll like this one.

OK, got the oh Hell's No Angels book from my friend (huge Hunter S Thompson mark who has all his books) so I'll begin reading tomorrow, would tonight, but Dubs play soon.

@Danielson I'll probably use this thread to post my thoughts and since you are likely the only other one to read the book I hope you'll discuss it with me :neveralone:

 

[Danielson]

Yeah, i'll be game to do that. Read em a couple years ago, might re-read to follow the journey. Maybe we can each read to a certain point each night to stay on pace.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

damn maybe we should just meet up and cuddle by the fireplace as we read and sip coco
