The Kitchen Readings: Untold Stories of Hunter S. Thompson – A Dangerous Biography of Professional Stunts and Firearms by Michael Cleverly - ★★★

I enjoyed this behind the scenes look at Hunter S. Thompson, written by some of his friends from woody Creek Colorado. It was like having him back again, the intimacy of the stories, and the honesty of the narrators rang true. It's not the most polished or well written book in the world, but it was great to hear the memories of doc from people who knew him. And although they told many stories of unwanted visitors to woody Creek and owl farm, I wish I had been one of them. And this book gives you a little feeling of what it must have been like, as well as some great remembrances towards the end of both his final days, and the amazing funeral celebration put on by Johnny Depp, complete with a Gonzo fist cannon and hunters ashes being packed into fireworks sent off into the sky, a great writer, a great remembrance, and a nice read.
