Hunter Thompson has a special place in drug culture and literature because he proved to the non-drug using public that you can use copious amount of chemicals and still be intelligent, eloquent, creative and successful. The same adjectives apply to the people at narcotichrist, so if you like talking about drugs to clever people then click this veritable rainbow of links. Everyone likes HST, too. Natch.
huuuuge fan of the doc. as for what i've read! IN FULL: Better than Sex: Confession of a Political Junkie Stuck in Mr. Bill's Neighborhood Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Kingdom of Fear STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF: (yeah, i tend to read about 10 books at once, his are a large chunk of them) Hell's Angels The Rum Diary The Curse of the Lono
and i am currently trying to find somewhere that will sell me a copy of "Where were you when the fun stopped?" but if i must i have the track listing and i could just download the songs.
i have high hopes of getting to go see the movie about him as a birthday present, but thats a maybe...
i've been familiar with the works of The Good Doc since i was a child. my dad is an old school acid head and his books have been lurking on the shelves in my house for as long as i could remember. my real interest began when my dear dear corrupting uncle gave me a copy of the movie "Fear and Loathing" when i was eleven. it took me a couple years before i could get my hands on the book (my father wasn't exactly comfortable with his 11 year old daughter getting into this sort of thing) but i got around him. being young, i of course barely understood a lot of what was going on but it all struck me a hilarious, well written and intelligent. now it is an insightful earful at the underbelly of politics and is quite refreshing. his views are sadly missed, because i would LOVE to see what he would have to say about the fiasco that american politics have become.
so, the bush family got in the white house again. WHO'S COMING WITH ME TO PARAGUAY?!?
Love HST and I was just a little curious about something.
I own the Uncorrected Proof of The Joke's Over, Bruised Memories: Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson, and me by Ralph Steadman. I was just wondering if anyone knew how much the book is worth? It is paperback and in great condition with some shelfware. I'm not even sure if it is worth that much at all. Thanks in advanced!
