oct 28, 2011 - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Hunter S. Thompson As Read By Johnny Depp

Description:

But as always, the best celebration of Thompson are his own words. And if you don’t have his books in front of you, or he never wrote you a personal letter, at least you can listen to Johnny Depp read some of his own personal correspondences with the good doctor.

Depp’s reading certainly enhances the entertainment value, but the real delight is the potent knots of words themselves. Thompson wrote the way he spoke, and there’s never been another person who could better deliver lines like, “We will need to drive a few public 20-inch nails into the right people at the right time in the right place.”

Thompson was man who would go to great lengths for his own personal sense of justice… even threatening some poor bastard with the journalism business. Enjoy.
