We are, after all, professionals." I'm reading for lines like this: "It was Friday night when we blew up the Jeep. Not only on me; but "Journalism" overall.

But it's that side-dish of true 'bat-shit craziness,' as Thompson calls it, that really gets me going. He seemed to be in love with Washington people far too much to inflict real damage. Hunter puts together a collection of his writings and thoughts that delve on subjects all across the spectrum. More a diary than anything, snippets and logs taken from throughout the 80's - The Generation of Swine, from Hunters point of view - the best kind! I remember Ollie North before the Iran Contra panel on tv. Hunter S. Thompson was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Like “Выборы в Сенат 1986 года будут решающими.

Contemporary young adult literature has often led the way in depicting the real-life issues facing teens from all backgrounds.

Generation of Swine, the second volume of the legendary Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's bestselling "Gonzo Papers," was first published in 1988 and is now back in print. This is a very bizarre and misleading three stars that I’m giving the book, Generation of Swine by Hunter S. Thompson. Or this: "I am genuinely sorry about having to chop the arm off that poor woman's Alaskan parka that you made me wear, but I was only doing my job. "I'm not sure I'd say this is Thompson at his very best, but if you enjoy his peculiar style it's still here in spades.

The man comes across as puritanical and willfully vicious most of the time, but you can also see that he is shockingly well read and as he says many times himself, morbidly addicted to news.

With that phrase as his title and premise, he takes no prisoners.

I remember Ollie North before the Iran Contra panel on tv. Most amusing to me was his straight-faced description of Richard M. Nixon's Vietnamese houseboat mistress.Good but not great, disappointing compared to his other work. A reader can go through the 300-plus pages of …

I was not sure.

From the bestselling author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the legendary Hunter S. Thompson’s second volume of the “Gonzo Papers” is back.Generation of Swine collects hundreds of columns from the infamous journalist’s 1980s tenure at the San Francisco Examiner. The 80's were a time in which I was conscious of the goings on about me- but with little knowledge about how the world actually worked. The book contains many good examples of his writing in short essay format. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.



It is amaizingly sad to read how Thompson expected Iran Contra to be treated like the major criminal enterprise that it was- a criminal enterprise carried out by the highest powers in Washington. It’s misleading for a number of reasons, the biggest being that when you have a little over 100 pieces that were presumably originally written for periodicals of all stripes (the book doesn’t say where they were originally published) taken out of context and thrown together in a book, and when some of them are superb, some average and some terrible, you do the math and somehow, This is a very bizarre and misleading three stars that I’m giving the book, Generation of Swine by Hunter S. Thompson.

I'm going to frame it. But this book wasn’t that at all, even though that’s what it looks like from what I gave it. HST was a huge influence on me.

HST was unique.

. The best thing about this book for me, besides reading HST for the first time, was that it covered the 80's. Instead of collecting Thompson's best writing from the 80's, this book simply catalogues all the columns he wrote over a set period.

"He wasn't as funny or as biting as I thought he'd be.

HST was unique. The hangover had begun and the prescription for what ailed us all was a harsh look at what America had become, and how far from the idealistic Dream we had strayed.

So, as Hunter pointed out: Watergate was childs play compared to the treachery of Iran Contra- Iran Contra would then be buried in the shadow of a mountain of body bags resulting from the vastly more criminal George W. Bush administration.For all the attention given to his outrageous behavior, HST sure was perceptive about politics. I miss him.This has been the only thing helping me make sense of the current political upheaval.
Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of

It's obvious that Hunter had deteriorated somewhat at this stage (it was a known fact even then) so anyone who goes into reading this should expect it be, what seems like, anyway, crazed ramblings ofThought this book was great! Most of my friends thought he was a criminal.
