From a book excerpt on lithub.com headlined “How To Live, Eat, and Drink Like Your Favorite Writers”:
Live Like Philip Larkin
My life is as simple as I can make it. Work all day, cook, eat, wash up, telephone, hack writing, drink, television in the evenings. I almost never go out. I suppose everyone tries to ignore the passing of time—some people by doing a lot, being in California one year and Japan the next. Or there’s my way—making every day and every year exactly the same. Probably neither works. –From Paris Review, 1982.
Drink Like Hunter S. Thompson
