Recommend me some reading material/books for the very casual/beginner reader..
Something like Hunter S Thompson on Henry Rollins, i use them as examples because to me they come off as good,captivating writers yet are simple enough for the average person to stay engaged in...
Biographies would work well for fitting in to this request i suppose..
never been a big reader (though my favorite book, Les Chants of Maldoror, was definitely not a 'beginner friendly' book)
>>in b4 i get called some faggot that just saw hunter/rollins quotes on tumblr on now came here looking for more..

..happy now ?
Read Transmetropolitan. Sure it's a graphic novel, but the story is decent and the main character is just as witty and cynical as hunter. You asked.

your looking for Bukowski
(also may want to check out Bukowski)
Is hunter s. thompson underappreciated here? I think his contributions to literature are important because he helped to eliminate intermediary boundaries between story, writer, and reader and injected himself as writer into the story. Like normally a journalist is a kind of lawyer, one who collects facts and structures an objective story out of it, but thompson's writing feels more detective-ish - where detective work is a form of embedded journalism that injects the author into the story
