Hunter S. Thompson. He has always been a personal fave, but his later books have lacked the energy of the earlier works. But, he can still turn a phrase. "Its better to be shot out of a cannon, than squeezed out of a tube." This book has the "jumbled" story lines that have appeared in his later work. It makes it harder to read than it ought to be.

I shouldn't be reading HST while living in my current vortex of anger and frustration. Know where I can get a Kevlar vest?
