Top 100 of the Last 100 Book Discussion Group

September Book: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Author: Hunter S. Thompson

We invite you to attend this book discussion group where we will be focusing on the top 100 books of the last 100 years! We will have started with the year 2021 and are making our way backwards ending with 1922!

Premise of the book: In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior--for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

Can't make it in person? Contact Angela prior to session at 440-967-3798 X 6439, so you can join us on Zoom here.
