I was strolling around the library one day, searching for something that would serve as occasional distraction from uni work (because, you know, I don't have any books in my shelf...), and came across Thompson. Now, I know that this is probably not the style he came to be known for but it was still entertaining. Occasionally I laughed aloud at all the crazy stuff.

I think what shows also how much I liked this, was that I have no interest in motorcycles or motorcycle gangs, but Thompson somehow made it interesting. This was my first introduction to gonzo journalism and will definitely check out more of Thompson's work, since this area of journalism really hit me. The sarcasm, humour and overall attitude of putting yourself out there were the biggest factors for me.
