Hunter S. thompson convinced me that he was such a fun writer to read, because he just made up things, when he wrote about going shooting with Soldier of Fortune magazine staff.

He described them with all the cliches, and topped it with them being so drunk that when they shot at the wrecked jeep with the explosives fixed to the front of it that they were using as a target, that they couldn’t hit the explosives from a close distance.

It was terrible writing, like something from Rolling Stone, or Stephan Glass of The New Republic.
