What People Are Saying
More Praise
Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "One of the most enjoyable Christmas presents I’ve ever received. From Hunter S. Thompson’s brilliant life advice, to the never-used speech written in case of an Apollo 11 disaster, to the description of Aldous Huxley’s death (and final LSD trip), this book was full of surprises."
