Hunter S Thompson
Posted by Beerthirty
Hells Angels is a good Hunter S Thompson book
I've got a week long vacation coming up, so this would be good a book to break into. Need to see if the stores here have it.

Not 100% my type, but similar would be naked lunch by Burroughs, or similar sort of beat gen. genre era maybe Kerouac? Bret Easton Ellis is a little darker but similar vein I think? Ooorrrrrrrrrrrrrr go for what I personally think is cooler Vonnegut 😁🙌
I've done Naked Lunch by Burroughs, but only because I was curious after reading Basketball Diaries (which I lent to an ex and never got back).
And you just reminded me I haven't finished Slaughterhouse Five - I will probably take that on my vacation.

Aah amazing that’s brill! 👏 also I was annoyed I couldn’t think of any female authors but that’s kind of the deal with this sort of vibe, will just mention Joan Didion ‘ Slouching Towards Bethlehem’ for balance lol, sort of similar new journalism vibe to Tom Wolfe and all that if it helps 🤷♀️click to expand
Yeah I've noticed there not many female writers with a comparable style to Thompson and Burroughs.
On at extreme level I don't know of any female writers who can be compared with Charles Bukowski.
Or maybe I just don't know of any.
Chuck Palahnuik. He's. Badass. He wrote fight club.

The snow covers the graves but I still hear the corpses lament. I know how they feel; trapped in their coffins with no way of escape. Like my mind, we are in here forever. No more flowers of joyous celebration; now the flowers cov

This is going to be difficult in one thread to discuss several books of this prolific horror genius.
I love horror. It's my main genre from Dean Koontz, Anne Rice, Clive Barker, to Robin Cooke.
So first, is this worth it, am I alone?
I think I’ve needed Osho my whole life.
I’m currently reading “Love, Freedom, and Aloneness,” and I love it. I’ve also watched some YouTube videos of him speaking. He’s very deliberate in everything he says.
