Hunter S. Thompson & Ayn Rand: BFFs?

Every now and then I like to throw an older post up, just to relive the magic. This happens to be my most popular post of the year, for totally unknown reasons. Hooda thunk?

WHAT THE HELL

Apparently Hunter S. Thompson really liked The Fountainhead. Who knew?

But he also liked The Great Gatsby, along with an interesting array of other titles that you can see here. These are books that he recommended to people, and they include a couple of things I’d almost forgotten about, like A Singular Man by J. P. Donleavy. J. P. Donleavy! Not very surprising on the list is Henry Miller’s The World of Sex.

Somebody should put together a book of authors’ favorite books. That would make for some interesting reading, eh?
