He comfortable using racial slurs, bragging about his criminal past/present, and completely blitzing away mind away though various drugs. Thompson was a man of extreme contractions. Thompson as, "the least factual, but most accurate journalists alive." That description works well for this collection of Thompson's various articles, published in numerous magazines throughout his legendary career. And be grateful you never had to swallow a faceful of mace or dance around a swinging cattleprod to witness the impotent rage and lunacy of navigating an evolving nation arm in arm with an eloquent, seditious maniac.ĭavid Letterman once described Hunter S. If you don't like the sound of fear and loathing, go cradle some Kerouac and snuggle into your pillows. This book is not exactly pleasant to listen to, but it shouldn't be. You'll almost feel the spittle flying out of your speakers or headphones-just like you would if you were to sit down with Thomson and a Wild Turkey in '68. Yes, this whole book will be screamed into your ear. I think the narrator coveys the auto-masticating rage and tenuous, brittle sanity of the writer perfectly. Depp popularized the myth of the man by distorting him into an affably lovable loon, people have forgotten just how grating and pugilistic the father of gonzo really was. But I don't think the folks railing against the narrator really *get* HST. A seminal piece of writing, obviously-no one seems to disagree with that sentiment.

The chemistry between them is red hot and the urge to take things to the next level is more tempting than Layla’s double fudge mocha brownies. But there’s one ingredient they haven’t considered. All the benefits of dating, without the added pressure of feelings and unmet expectations. He’ll do his best to renew her faith in men while she rates his dating game. After saving Layla from another date gone bad, he has a simple One month of no-strings dating. Good thing Caleb Alvarez has the perfect solution. All she wants is a partner who gives her butterflies, not someone who ghosts her at dinner and leaves her with the check. Apparently owning the bakery at Inglewild’s most romantic destination does not help one’s love life-despite her best efforts. She’s waded through all of the fish in the sea, each one more disappointing than the last.

Her first job was as a librarian in Yakima, Washington, where she met many children who were searching for the same books that she had always hoped to find as a child herself. She moved to California to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and after graduation with a B.A in English in 1938, studied at the School of Librarianship at the University of Washington in Seattle, where she earned a degree in librarianship in 1939. Thereafter, she was a frequent visitor to the library, though she rarely found the books she most wanted to read - those about children like herself. It wasn't until she was in third grade that she found enjoyment from books, when she started reading The Dutch Twins by Lucy Fitch Perkins. She was slow in learning to read, due partly to her dissatisfaction with the books she was required to read and partly to an unpleasant first grade teacher. When she was 6, her family moved to Portland, Oregon, where she went to grammar and high school. Mouse.īeverly Cleary was born Beverly Atlee Bunn in McMinnville, Oregon.
