Media Roll Call

29) The Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson - My first Hunter S Thompson, loaned to me by a co-worker. I'm a little ambivalent on it, really. It was a fast read with lots of momentum and emotion and some really vivid imagery. So I liked that. But most of the characters felt very cartoon-ish, pure caricatures. Which was less fun because I like to know a bit more about the people running around... Especially if they're bloody nuts and heavily defined by their alcohol tolerance.

But I do like him better than Hemmingway. Ssssh, don't tell what'shisnameteacher.
