Hunter S Thompson

Any fans out there,

I read Fear & Loathing in Las Vagas & that was awesome, I've just read his "Rum Diaries" & that was pretty good as well, I might read The Great Shark hunt next, that looks interesting !!!!

 

Yip, im sure theres loads of fans on here! Kingdom of fear is my favourite so far... The rum diary is being made into a movie i think

 

Of course.

 

He hung out with the 'Hells Angels' to write his 'Fear& Loathing...' book.
But I wonder why 'The Great Gonzo' shot himself?.

 

I don't know, but this was his suicide note.

 

yeah I heard that as well, just hope it is as good as Fear & loathing !!!!

 

^Yea, they already have Johnny Depp playing Paul Kemp. Del Toro was going to co-star and direct, but I think he's left the project completly now.

It's set for release in 2008.

 

I thought Kingdom of Fear was awful. Literary masturbation. Not even the GOOD kind.

 

i agree its not even one story, it shouldve been in the biography section

 

it doesnt matter that kingdom of fear isnt an actual story, its a great book and tells a lot about thompson. I love the style of his writing, hes one of the only authors i've read where i actually laugh out loud while reading
