I always liked the idea of Hunter S. Thompson more than I liked his writing. Truth be told, I never liked anything I read of his. I certainly understand his place in literature/journalism, his place in culture, and his impression on our society but I just never liked his seemingly endless accounts of halucinations. I'd take Kerouac any day for my reading. Perhaps they occupied different places, but I discovered at the same time (high school). My opinions notwithstanding, it is sad that he is gone, sadder still he has left in such a way. So long Duke.
