[CALIBK12] Books/libraries/reading in Rolling Stone, October 2007.

[Suzannah Barbour]

Gerald Tyrrell grew up a block away from Hunter S. Thompson:

Our group would go to Cherokee Park to play football, or go to the basketball courts, or grab a dime and go downtown to the movies  - we would go all over the place.  But going to the library and reading books was always given equal billing.  Hunter
would say, "Let's go to the library," and seven or eight of us would grab our bikes and ride down. It'd be all grab-ass and being rowdy and loud marching up the steps of the library - and then we'd be quiet as church mice inside and each pick out a book
and sit down and read for a couple of hours- and then put the books back and leave and be rowdy and grab-ass and ride our bikes home. And it wasn't just on rainy days. It was year-round.
