Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

What a great read:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Long overdue to read it again 'cause I last read it back in the '80s.

I found it hilarious. The part where they pumped the rented Cadillac's tyres up to 90 or 100lbs so they could hang corner action more-easily was gold, as was so much of the story.

The movie didn't capture the magic unfortunately, but that's to be expected.

Not sure which version you're talking about.
Thought Peter Boyle was really good as Lazio in Where the Buffalo Roam.

I only saw the Johnny Depp & Benicio Del Toro one.

The book was awesome. The movie was not.

Cool of Johnny Depp to pay for Hunter's funeral though.

Read Fear And Loathing 72 Campaing Trail but I never read the Vegas version. Read that and a biography about him after his death from his estate or people close to him….. or something like that forgot what it was called but pretty much went into his life from start to finish….. and start to “Football season is over.” Finish.



Must have read 72 Campaign Trail like 3 or 4 times and big Hunter fan here. Good stuff ^_^



Honestly good stuff and in todays times it makes you wonder what would Hunter think?!?!

Friggin'-hilarious.
