1549 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I just finished reading Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and loathing in Las Vegas and it was extremely entertaining, maybe I'll see the movie now, but it can't match the book. Anyone have any literature they want to recommend? (I'm trying to stay away from sports and political books, I am kind of sick of them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm trying to stay away from sports and political books, I am kind of sick of them.) If you liked F&LiLV, then read "The Rum Diary" by HST -- it's another novel he wrote about his time at a newspaper in Puerto Rico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 If you want to stay with the book outdoes the movie theme then I would recommend "Bringing Out the Dead" by Joe Connelly. Amazing book, not so amazing movie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I just read and wholeheartedly recommend: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time." Mark Haddon - autistic kid tries to figure out who killed his neighbor's dog. "In A Sunburned Country" Bill Bryson - Funny travel narrative about Australia. "The Bookseller of Kabul" Asne Seierstad - Norwegian Journalist writes about the common life of an uncommon family in Afghanistan. Brutally funny at times, heartbreaking at others.
