What is THE BEST Hunter S. Thompson Book?

Question

he is my absolute favorite author. what book is your favorite? and why?

Answer 1

Probably Fear and Lothing in Las Vegas is the best - the most typical and accessible in its targets.

At the time, I liked Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail better, because I thought it's depiction of the politcial press, and the politicians involved, both incisive (though I didn't always agree) and important.  But those particular politicans are long gone, and the political press has changed with the advent of the internet and cable tv, so the book is probably more dated.   Drugs, cops and Vegas will always be with us.
