I have so much to write about this book, the man who wrote it, and what they both mean to me. Huge impacts on my life, both the work and the author. The high-water mark as Hunter S. Thompson writes at one point thinking back on the 1960s in 1971’s epic masterpiece, a true classic (and you know I don’t toss that word around a lot), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Where to begin? Before I knew there was a book, I saw the film one random night as a freshman in college and immediately fell in love. When I found out it was a book first, at least 25 years before the film, I bought it. The book changed my life, and while some people may point to On the Road as a definitive life changing work, for me it’s Fear and Loathing. It made me focus more on my writing and take it serious as art. This, dear friends and readers, is a true top-rated, top-shelf, all-time favorite.
