    Any fans?

    Been getting into his work lately. Read Fear and Loathing... and Hell's Angels and have made decent ground into his autobiography, Kingdom of Fear. I consider him one of few people worth having an autobiography.

    Any opinions? He seems to me to be an astounding character and figure, and I really enjoy his writing. It's colourful and witty and more involved and passionate than journalism has any right to be, but it works so well. A sore loss for literature, say I.

    I read fear and loathing, hell's angels, the rum diaries ages ago. Don't remember them that well though. Just recall that he came across as being a bit insane
    in my opinion.
    There are plenty of people who are worth having an autobiography. Unfortunately there is a proliferation of autobiographies by manufactured celebrities and the like.
