I want to read stories about badasses.

Nothing with a turning point in which the main character has to get serious, becomes a man, none of that stuff. I want a book about a cool mofo and his awesome adventures from page 1 until the very end.

Pic related. I want a fiction version of this.

You would probably enjoy Conan the barbarian.

And Sherlock Holmes.

Hunter S Thompson.

Try "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Hells Angels"

And if you like Hunter S. Thompson and comics, I would suggest reading a comic series called "Transmetropolitan". The main character is based on Thompson, even though the comic takes place in the 23rd century.

Yea yea I know >>>/co/ is that way.

I've really wanted to read Transmetropolitan ever since I read The Boys, I love Darrick Robertson's art style.

I think I may go get the first issue this week.

Yes, all aspects of this comic are awesome to behold.

Well, Warren Ellis is a factor, too. But when I first discovered it I didn't even know he was involved.

some blurb from a blog:

>The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini is a book where this Renaissance sculpture and craftsman talks about every detail of his life, from the prostitutes to murder.

>His biography begins when he is 58 years old and was intended to show his life and art, but it ends up being intertwined with his struggles and triumphs of being actively engaged in war


>Cellini is quite honest in his autobiography for he confesses to innumerable fights, several murders that he commited, at least one rape, and a notorious prison-break. Cellini, a fanatic and an individualist, is one of the Renaissances’ key players.

Cellini was violent lying thieving scumbag. He is one of my heroes.

If you want a fiction version of Tucker Max, just watch How I Met Your Mother. There's a character on there a lot like how Tucker Max claims to be.

I can't say I approve of your choice of entertainment but to each his own.
