i hope you're joking.. i suspect you are.. its a sad reality for some though.. shocking thing to learn about.

but you can always count on a well-respected youtuber to cash out on the desperation..

Went through Carell's bibliography, now some translated works for comparison.

Finished True Grit now reading this, probably Night Shift by King next.

I idolized Hunter when I was younger, then I grew up and realized he was an alcoholic cocaine addict who peaked early and spent the rest of his life having visitors to his home read his own early work out loud to him. Sad, really. He had great potential, but his addictions turned his mind into shit.

i haven't read much 40k.. but i have read this and it was pretty interesting to get a non-human perspective of things. and a comedy that goes on for 10s of thousands of years based on a grudge between two necrons is something worth considering.
doesn't really contribute to the central lore if that's what your into.. but idk

>>508705184
>peaked early

you mean peaked in literacy and political news coverage in his 30s and 40s? like pretty much all humans who 'peak?'

i will say, at times, he cornered himself into what seemed like a strange performance. a facade he was trying to maintain. but he lived hard and fast, in the best era to do so, at the best age to do so.. and tapped out when he realized all his best days were behind him.
if only we were all so lucky

i don't have a clue as to what that could possibly mean

he was a midwit whose schtick was to be scandalous at a time when people were easily scandalised. there's nothing impressive about him at all, really.

It was way more horrible than you might imagine. I was a poor broke college student back then. Some of the music was fairly good if you smoked a lot of weed.

> How he felt typing this

>>508705454
No, I meant that he wrote one moderately successful book and spent the rest of his life chasing that success with little to show for it because literally everything he did got bogged down into inaction due to his crippling addictions, dying essentially broke for a man with his cultural influence.
He was incredibly intelligent but got trapped in a self-imposed prison of the Dr. Gonzo persona, which killed him. He needed a hip replacement, and to quit drinking but decided it was easier to blow his own brains out. That is the thinking of a petulant and reckless narcissist.
I know it's tempting to see him as a groundbreaking visionary, which he was for a time, but anyone who eats a .45 bullet with their son grandchild in the next room is more beast than man.

Which book, hells angels, fear and loathing? He was a successful journalist his whole career. You sure you're not redirecting distaste from a Hunter fan yku went to hs with or something?

>>508706564
no, what happened was he, as he said, idolized him. and then learned his life wasn't as magical as his formerly immature mind had originally conceived. so with this newfound information, he completely reconstructed his perception of the man in the opposite extreme. because having a more nuanced perspective is just not a possibility for some people.

You weren't wrong. The sword is always mightier than the pen. The people are bunch of fucking sheeps anyway, so u won't be able to convince them to do shit until their lives are on the line; Not even Hitler can if he was to come back in the 2000s instead of now. The Mongols are a bunch of dumb savages and yet they conquered half the globe. We need way more ppl who can do instead of people who can talk.

I've read everything he ever wrote, including his multivolume anthology of letters and the sports column he wrote for ESPN at the time of his death. You may disagree with my estimation of him, but it's not based on a casual appraisal of his life.

Okay, and I agree with what you've said. I've just never seen him as anything but an amusing druggy hipster who had a rare talent for articulating perspective.

Anyone who enjoyed Vegas should check out the collections of Hunter's letters. Really fascinating and entertaining stuff.

>>508706977
Or, as time went by, I read more of the man's work and learned more about who he was as a person as I matured myself, and my view changed from immature idolatry to the more "nuanced" appraisal that he was a highly intelligent, yet deeply flawed person.

One of the hardest movies I've ever seen, and the book is more of the same. Really gritty highbrow british noir.

>>508703320 (OP)
Just started The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power. Very good so far.

>>508707427
He had a unique literary voice that came from a deep well of creativity. His political commentary during his more lucid periods was highly insightful and very funny. Many people have tried to ape his style, they all fail.

This book should also be mandatory reading for anyone serious about /pol/

As relevant today as it was in the early 70s. Incredibly entertaining, even if you're not a hardcore political nerd.

Best enjoyed with a beer or thirteen in random bars while driving across the country.

Interesting information.

frustrating the aesthetic decline and bubblewrapping the world is going through for the endless 'just in case' scenarios. really is Brave New World/Fordian type mentality.
