The Rum Diary
by Hunter S. Thompson
'"Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception -- especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they're scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.' - Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary
This is the first book I've read by Hunter S. Thompson, and I'm completely sold. I loved his style, and his ability to keep me interested in a story about nothing. I had a bit of an issue with the blatant objectification of women, however I'll cut him a little slack since it was written in the 60's. Looking forward to reading more of his work!
