Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream

  My recommendation for today is...  Hunter S. Thompson's brilliant book (later adapted to film in 1998; staring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro) is an astounding trip into the mind of a 1971 mind of a junkie of wide variety. It incorporates historical facts with a twisted plot and incredible references. The book is an autobiography on Thompson's "drug orgy" through Las Vegas with his drug-crazed attorney.
  This book is a mind-crippling adventure with Thompson as he discloses his thoughts throughout his trip. The novel is complete with outstanding illustrations  by Ralph Steadman.



  Amazingly enough, the film adaptation meets the high expectations through great narration and Grade A acting; with Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke (Thompson's main character persona) and Benicio Del Toro costarring as his high-stung attorney, Dr. Gonzo. It includes a line-up of cameos such as Gary Busey, Tobey Maguire. Christina Ricci, and Cameron Diaz, and  fabulous directing from Terry Gilliam, who did a stupendous job recreating the book and doing it justice.
  The novel is a great read for older generations to reminisce and for the young to learn a thing or two about the time before them, rather than remaining ignorant of history and lazing through the day. The book is entertaining, accurate, and in some instances, educational. I loved it and recommend it to everyone. Besides, who doesn't enjoy a funny autobiography about drugs and a city that everyone knows for its insanity?

-Yours truly.
