F&L in Las Vegas is a classic, don't think anyone would dispute that. You're either into it or it's not for you.

Hell's Angels and F&L on The Campaign Trail were both fantastic I thought, albeit, decidedly not novels, and nothing like F&L in Las Vegas whatsoever. Rum Diary was terrible, it's not wonder nobody wanted to publish it back in the day. Didn't really care for The Curse of Lono, but it might be your most direct equivalent to F&L in Las Vegas.

Thoughts on the man? What's there really to say? Resentfully became the 'voice of a generation' the same way Bob Dylan did and eventually found himself swallowed whole by his own cultural legacy. Seemed to me a sad man in his later years, you can see it in his interviews, read it in his writings.

I read Hell's Angels and really liked it. His style makes the book really pleasant to read, he makes a nice critical review of how journalists change facts to make them more sensationnal, and has very interesting observations/analysis about Hell's Angel. He is not the edgy stoner that the movie with Depp describes.

i read the first part of great shark and i just think the dude's a cool cat and knows lots of people that are into things i couldn't fathom- like gambling and vomiting and more gambling.

also i read curse of lono, he talks about his gay lover at the end, but he won't say it..

i still dont know what to think. i want to read more of the shark
