Angsty kids read F&LiLV sometime in high school and it convinces them to do more drugs and talk about how good the book is, so a lot of people tend to just avoid Thompson's work altogether.

Fucking ridiculous. F&LiLV is somewhat entertaining, but some of the dude's other shit is legitimately outstanding (pic related). Thompson himself didn't even particularly like how popular LV got, and it really fucked him up.

Thompson appreciation bread. Post your favorite articles, books, stories, picture, anything. He was a real treasure.

Yeah most people misinterpret his genius and just feel like he's telling them to do drugs. Fear and loathing on the campaign trail is awesome, the Hell Angels though is my favorite and the Rum diaries of course. The book I'm working on now is the 40 Oz diaries

kind of torn on HST. at times he's lyrical, and at other times he comes across as an entitled aspie - like when he was demanding that Willie Hearst fire one of his editors for daring to change the way he spelled "ghadaffi".

Hells Angels is highly entertaining, aesthetically pleasing, and genuinely informative.

Love Fear and loathing on the Campaign trail '76 and Hells Angels, pretty sure Ivery read almost all of his books
He's adored by high school stoners for all the drug talk but I genuinely enjoy his point blank writing style and dark, almost poetic phrasings
