His writing style is so unique and intriguing I love it. 
yeah, he was the best creative writer journalists, and best (one of) overall. actually worth the time, for it's bombast. you should look into his paper/magazine articles, they are wicked.
you just reminded me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzo:_Photographs_by_Hunter_S._Thompson
i plan on getting this sometime. looks awesome, i'm sure.

I loved that. The concept of specialized mammals was amazing. I believe that was the book where they had gas filled life forms that floated and the hero was named Anny Alehouse because they couldn't pronounce d's

A masterpiece. Since when do you suppose either of us has felt highly of his fellow man. 1963?

That's about right.  yeah but why give a fuck then. 
I'm going to dig into Death on the Installment Plan next. Supposed to be more autobiographical about the madness in his own personal hell. Should be a hoot.

You're reading it. You decide. And no we will not be having a discussion since I read them both about thirty years ago. I just remember being blown away by Journey and disappointed by Death.
