"The Bishop of Central Japan,
used to rodger himself with a fan;
when taxed with these acts he replied,
"It contracts and expands, rather more than a man."

CELESTIAL

As a secular nationalist hawk, he pissed off and made an enemy out of just about everyone.

Right-wingers hated him for his antitheism and dissoluteness, and left-wingers hated him for his hawkish nationalism, his nose for hypocrisy, and for his horning in on their "intellectual atheism" monopoly.

Now that he can't wrek his deriders in face-to-face debate, they're finally gleefully crawling out their holes to shit on his grave every time he's mentioned, because he caused them so much trouble and ass pain.

"Tha-that Hitch! What a li-a little bitch that guy was! Y-yeah, he wasn't.. he w-wasn't anything sp-special!"

Religion: Not Even Once

Despite enjoying hitchens in debate and watching him generally preach mercilessly in the eccentric and charismatic way he does when given a podium and an audience, i've never read anything by the man.

What is generally considered to be his most enjoyable book?

Is Hitchens worth reading? if so where should one start with him?

What does /lit/ think of Hitchens?

His first and foremost love was literature and I think he might have liked it here.

No matter how much you may hate Hitchens, you will never be as capable or accomplished a writer as he was.
