Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
4.0
(4/5★)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has always been a very polarizing novel. With rampant drug use and (in turn) the hysterical thoughts that come with it, not to mention the "anti-politically correct" nature of the book in general, it can definitely be a turn off for many people. While I was considerably more enamored with this book around the time I first read it in high school, it's still a bizarrely unique read that deserves to be read and talked about, especially if you want to see a clear, albeit disturbing, view of multiple altered states of consciousness.
