Title: Hunter S. Thompson has died
Post by: Coredweller on February 20, 2005, 11:41:31 PM: He was a genius. A risk taker, a fearless critic of power, and a great writer. He had a nice run. May he rest in peace.

You should at least read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" which is his most famous, but also shortest and most accessible book. It is also one of funniest pieces of writing in the english language.

"...and when the song gets to the part when the white rabbit bites his own head off, I want you to throw the tape player in the tub with me!!!"

Ahhh, the enlightened depths of an LSD/Ether/Adrenochrome binge.
