I have been meaning to get around to reading this book for quite a while especially since I delved into a couple of Thompson's other works such as [book:Hell's Angels]. However this book sort of sits apart from not only his other works, but other works of non-fiction, though I would probably not go ...
This book is one of my all-time favorite reads! Like much of Edgar Allen Poe's work, I can read this book over and over without ever tiring of it. Hunter S. Thompson has so much energy and color to his writing that you can read Fear and Loathing 100 times over and you will still pick up something ne...
No sé que me está pasando . Ultimamente me gustan más las películas que los libros en los que se basan . Me acuerdo que cuando vi la peli (Maravillosa pelicula con Johnny Deep y Benicio Del Toro ) me morí de la risa - si , admito que hubo alguna que otra cosirijilla involucrada que hacía todo más di...
This needed to happen. On the Road needed to happen. Burroughs, Kesey, Ginsberg, etc needed to happen. But is it good literature? For its time, yes. For all time? The jury's out.

It's hard to believe that it is all true, for the simple fact, that its hard to believe that they could have actually managed t...
Many love this book but I'm not one of them. It's not that it's particularly bad but that I just didn't find a reason to justify reading it. The whole drug scene is just so boring and I couldn't relate.
The book started off interesting, with a catalog of drugs in a car with two guys heading from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Thompson is hallucinating about bats, very large bats. Then they pick up a hitchhiker and freak him out with their paranoid talk – or were they talking out loud? Once at Las Vegas ...
So...I saw this movie when it came out with Johnny Depp in the nineties and I was in college and it was great fun (although admitedly I was not sober and don't remember it very clearly). I had never read it, but also heard it praised as having one of the best beginnings to a novel ever.And so, I was...
