Has anybody here read his RUM DIARY ?:

Begun in 1959 by a then-twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic, The Rum Diary is an outrageous, drunken romp in the spirit of Thompson's bestselling Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell's Angels

My wife bought me this book several years ago as a Christmas gift. It is an excellent read. A funny, irreverant "novel" with a character that sounds like HST. My brother, The Sperm Whale, currently has my copy. Spermy, read that damn book and give it back you crazy bastard.
