one of my favourite tompson quotes runs something like:
"in 68 Nixon seemed to me to be a completely humourless man, I couldn't imagine him laughing at anything except, perhaps, a paraplegic who wanted to vote democratic but couldn't quite reach the lever."
Fear and loathing is one of the most readable books I've ever picked up, had it finished in less than a day without trying particularly hard at all. He may not be earth shattering in many respects, but he is so much fun to read.
Film's good too.
