Hunter S. Thompson

This thread is not about his death, but about his great achivements in the art of literature. His books and colums that he has written for pretty much any kind of newspaper, book, magazine, ect. He has brought a new kind of writing with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I have recentally read the first edition of the Gonzo papers, and the second editon of the Gonzo letters. After reading the letters, I realized how HST had come to create his novels. I am now in the process of reading Hells Angles..

So in this thread, why dont you tell what you like most about HST and what is your favorite peice of work by him

Rum Diary

'The Great White Shark Hunt' rocks my boat. His interviews with Tricky Dicky are excellent. The sad thing is that most people on this forum only know him as 'the dude Johnny Depp played in that druggie movie'...
