Having read a LOT of Hunter S. Thompson, and his writing is so ... different?... more? ... something other than who Hunter himself was. If you read him, honestly just skip Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas as its a bunch of overblown bullshit. Hunter himself derided it often. But, his book Hells Angels The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang is amazing. And his best collection of essays is from the late 80s, Generation of Swine. And if you want some fiction, his earliest work was in that realm, The Rum Diary -- also a really good read. I dont agree with Hunter on practically anything, and hes still my icon for writing, for gonzo journalism, and for just being. Hes Hunter. youtu.be/wKq5wmCz0wM
