I'm also glad I waited a couple months to review - a little perspective was needed for me to put this on paper. <br /><br />That is a good quote - I should have included a few because he had several great ones.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187151242970223764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48772003452748741.post-82029680354204304322012-08-09T08:36:53.895-05:002012-08-09T08:36:53.895-05:00I actually really enjoyed this book, though it'...I actually really enjoyed this book, though it's been a few years since I read it. My husband is a huge fan of Hunter S. Thompson, so he insisted I read this. There's a lot that sticks out in my memory from this one... mainly the terror of the whole thing (ack, the bathtub scene). It also has one my favorite quotes ever in it:<br />“History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of ‘history’ it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time — and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.”<br /><br />Glad you got to read it-- more for the experience than the enjoyment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
