I have just finished reading Hunter S. Thompson's latest and final book "Kingdom of Fear" which according to him " I like this book and I especially like the title. Only a fool or a whore would call it anything else."
Obviously the good doctor was neither.
It is one of his more fun books and seems to ramble on but if you are a fan it is gold. Some of my favourite lines from it are:
"At the top of the mountain we are all snow leopards."
"The work of the Devil is never fully revealed until after midnight."
"Once you get a feeling for handling nitroglycerine fuses, you never lose it."
and he has titles for chapters like:
God might forgive you but I won't
What Marijuana?
Jesus Hated Bald Pussy
Song of the Sausage Creature
Fear and Loathing at the Taco Stand
All in all he was definitely a one off.
R.I.P good Doctor
