It's long but I never really felt like it was just rambling on. These were crazy times that I didn't realize just how crazy it was. I knew the hippies were a thing, but I'll have to go back and re-read fear and loathing on the campaign trail ‘72. Last time I read it I remember thinking that Hunter was really such an unreliable narrator that I couldn't make head or tails of what was going on. This straight account of the wildness of the time made me realize maybe he wasn't so crazy. I mean he was, but maybe so were the things he were seeing.

Anyways, I find a bunch of parallels between Nixon and Trump and I am seriously disturbed.
