  1. The Rum Diaries - Hunter S Thompson

    10/10

    Fantastic, an absolutly stonking book. I've been meaning to read this for ages, and finally picked up a copy last week. I read Fear and Loathing when I was 15 or 16, it didn't really do anything for me, but this book blew me away.

    The writing style is superb, and Thompson manages to create such a strong, vivid image in your head that you really feel the heat of the sun on your back and the rum sliding down your throat.

    This book is basically a fictional account, although it's easy to see that it is based on Thompsons own experiences, of a travelling journalist who finds himself in San Juan working for the local English language paper. Drinking rum from breakfast into the wee small hours, watching stunning women on the beach, fighting with the police and diving for lobsters for lunch. God, I wish I was there!

    Read it. Now. What are you waiting for?

    I've got that sitting right here but have been reluctant to start it as he kind of annoys me, might do now though
