"I bought the ticket, took the ride, needed live, to suffer. I had to go." - Rob Binkley This is the story of Rob Binkley. A Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has it all at 27 - a thriving business, beautiful girlfriend, etc., etc. He fantasizes about shedding the 'American Dream' to go wild like Hunter S. Thompson. As Rob's world begins to fall apart, a visit from his Zen madman friend Brian, convinces Rob to plan an escape and live his dreams. Will he find meaning backpacking through 23 countries, or will he and his zen-mad friend lose it all in their extreme pursuit of recklessness and debauchery? A tribute to gonzo and beat era writers, Let's Go Mad is the true tale of their year abroad on a sideways search in all the wrong places, with all the wrong people, at all the wrong times. After Brian's lust for life inspires Rob to embrace his inner beast, pushing the limits of sanity (and their friendship) into one merry blur, they both realize there's more to life than mere pleasure of the carnal and ribald. 276 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
