Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
The great shark hunt
Buy on Amazon"I really like a particular Hunter S. Thompson book called 'The Great Shark Hunt', where he covers the Ruben Salazar murder by LAPD or LA Sheriff's Department in Boyle Heights in the '70s. His relationship with his lawyer, Oscar Acosta, and that whole saga is great. 'Fear and Loathing' I like, but not as much as his straightforward reporting."
Vagabonding in America
Buy on Amazon"There was this book— Yeah. called 'Vagabonding in America' by an old hobo Ed Buryn. I read this and it just basically, some of it was outdated. They had stuff in there like the hobo code, like, oh, this moniker on the side of a fence means this person has free soup or something like that."
On the Road
Buy on Amazon"Ultimately, I wrote a book about my hitchhiking experience years later. And everyone was like, have you read 'On the Road'? And then, 'On the Road', I probably heard the title of that book every day at least 10 times for two years."
