"He smoked cigarettes with a holder, the short kind (think Hunter S. Thompson, not Cruella de Vil)."
"Does anyone else want to clench their fist and yell at the sky"
"You used to have guys like Tom Wolfe, Hunter S Thompson, Truman Capote."
"For me, no single writer (besides Camus but he's been talked of plenty here) has effected me more than the lunatic genius of of 20th century journalism, Hunter S. Thompson.

"Five months later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. This subreddit in the middle quarantine was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run . . . but no explanation, no mix of words "
"When I'm in the zone, racing against the clock, I feel alive, wired, fulfilled. I am a tortured addict, a true hunter s thompson, but better (I have not read his work nor any book in months), someone capable of indulging vice to excess and still capable of producing work that shows my teachers just "
