I just started The Great Shark Hunt and I plan to re-read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas next. I haven't read that one in years, since before I saw the movie...

Obviously By God you can tell I'm a fan.

whats his other books like?
im not all that farmiliar with hunters other work

atsonicpark · 10.18.2008, 01:41 AM

Great book, decent if overblown and tiresome film.

pbradley · 10.18.2008, 02:12 AM

I have the movie but rarely watch it.

The Lung · 10.18.2008, 06:10 AM

I love the book as well as the film. I've read most of f&l on the campaign trail but I didn't understand alot seen as it was way before my time.

Rum Diary is the only other one I've read and it's brilliant. It made me wanna jump on a plane and go live somewhere else. It's supposed to be released as a film next year with Johnny Depp but it will probably get delayed again. Anyway I really recommend it.

mil_pl · 10.18.2008, 06:24 AM

movie is one of my favourites.

Really! I'm a big fan of Depp and Gilliam but I can't say that F&L is one of thier better efforts. I see they are working together again on something called The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

10.18.2008, 07:45 AM

havent read the book. but I love the film and especially the acting of depp and I forgot his name

akprodr · 10.18.2008, 07:48 AM

Del Toro?

10.18.2008, 07:50 AM

indeed

I always forgot his name
he did quite a job to gain that much weight for that film

ALIEN ANAL · 10.18.2008, 07:51 AM

he is such a wild man in the film

Lamont Cranston · 10.18.2008, 07:58 AM

Hells Angels - analysis of societies ultimate dropouts, Hunter spent a year with them to write this.
Fear & Loathing in the Campaign Trail '72 - Hunter covers the 1972 presidential elections. Consider it the gonzo companion to Timothy Crouses serious The Boys on the Bus.

Gonzo Papers, Vol. 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time

- a collection of Hunters earlier serious journalism, the first piece of gonzo "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved", and Rolling Stone pieces.

Curse of Lono - never could figure out what this was about.
The Rum Diary - The Great Gatsby in 1950s San Juan.
They're what I've read.

shentov · 10.18.2008, 08:46 AM

ALIEN ANAL · 10.18.2008, 08:55 AM

dr Gonzo in movie

they did great duo with Depp.

DeadDiscoDildo · 10.18.2008, 11:07 AM

The Kentucky Derby is Both Decadent and Depraved is such a brilliant piece of writing. Probably one of my favorite Gonzo pieces by him.
