Do you like him?

>>9074009
yes

>>9074009
Obviously

Why

One of my favorites. Great political acumen with exhilarating prose. Campaign Trail '72 is an essential read for anyone interested in modern American politics.

Yes. I don't like to think about his later life, though.

Just got The Great Shark Hunt. I hope I'm in for something good.

Hunter is my role model and my goal in life is to do more drugs than him

Reddit loves him so hes shit

>>9074009

Too much drugs, too memey.

>implying Hunter's goals had anything to do with taking a certain amount of drugs

>>9074009
yes, he was the real deal

>>9074009
Is he a dumbass or what? Shrapnel would literally hit him if he shot that printer as close as he is.

>>9079026
>implying he doesn't know exactly what he's doing

Based on this thread, I'm glad to see /lit/ is starting to like Thompson again

He's shit. I don't understand the fascination.
People just love to watch people do things they dream of doing. It's something of a modern phenomenon, as I'm sure you are aware. Anything to stop them from actually having to do something for themselves or face the wind in any way whatsoever.

The people who like Hunter Thompson are the same people who obsess over toothpaste caps, and keeping track of pocket change in a spreadsheet.

>>9079026

no you're the dumbass

god dammit do I hate millennial narcissism.

>>9079188
Okay, faggot. Why don't you shoot a printer that's five feet in front of you with a shotgun? I'll visit you in the emergency room. I don't even know why I'm so rustled; liberal faggots like you don't know shit about guns.

>>9079196
>Millennial
I don't think so.

>>9079199
Better than being a right-wing retard. Obviously he's doing a (photo)shoot for some magazine and he isn't actually going to shoot his fucking typewriter you fag

>>9079210
Exactly my point, faggot. Liberal faggots like you think that photo is "cool," when in reality it just makes him look like an idiot.

Enjoy reading DUDE DRUGS LMAO, you fucking faggot.

He's a one trick pony.

Found the anons who never got past Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

if you're on this website you're a millennial, even if you're 80

The people who have actually read him here have always appreciated his work. Unfortunately, Thompson is one of those authors who attract detractors who have never engaged with his work but dislike what they feel he represents ('dude drugs lmao').

>>9079026
Nice literal autism there bro

>>9079199

apparently conservative faggots like you don't know what fucking symbolism is ya dingus

>>9074009
Hell's Angels is still one of my favorite books

Awful. He's one of the key figures in the downfall of Journalism.

Great writer. Definitely a genius. Wrote a few good books. Ultimately limited.

>>9077896
That's an amazing painting. Do you know the artist?

Shotgun lover here. He's pretty safe actually. The guy taking the picture on the other hand...
