You Will Be Missed

Bad news. Very bad news. Hunter S Thompson shot himself earlier tonight. The Good Doctor has gone and left us to struggle ahead without his insane guidance. I've read almost all of his work and he is one of the stronger influences on my own writing. Reading his "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" for the first time is like seeing a movie with a great ending; you'll only remember the first impression. "The Rum Diaries" is a fantastically underrated novel. And "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail: 72" is quite long, but worth the read for the many priceless observations which came from one of the most influential presidential campaigns in modern history.
Good luck Dr. Thompson. Earth was never ready for you; lets see if the afterlife is.
