When it comes to Hunter S. Thompson, I’ve always preferred the Bill Murray Where the Buffalo Roam to the Johnny Depp Fear and Loathing.
And, strangely, I’ve always liked Hell’s Angels the best.
There’s a great, and representative, selection of faxes between H.S.T and Walter Isaacson of Time here.
Blood Stains from the slaine Monks of Lindisfarne in the Viking attack of 793AD. Folios 191v and 192r of the Lindisfarne Gospels - written and illuminated by the Anglo-Saxon Bishop Eadfrith in 698AD.
Liber generationis Jesu Christi
“Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made. Behold, the church of St. Cuthbert spattered with the blood of the priests of God, despoiled of all its ornaments; a place more venerable than all in Britain is given as a prey to pagan peoples.”
Alcuin, Letter to Ethelred, King of Northumbria

Colin, I’m with you – never like the Fear and Loathing thing (book or film).
Hell’s Angels – ditto.
I also like Hell’s Angels best, it was the first HST book I read. I liked Fear and Loathing, though.
I’ve never seen Where the Buffalo Roam.
