    I've seen the movie a lot, but I heard the book was better. Is this true?

    Both Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro(sp?) will be in The Rum Diaries. But It's not exactly going to be like Fear and Loathing. It's WAY before the lsd and hallucinagins. As the title says, its basically about him and alcohol.

    Sticking with the whole Hunter S. Thompson thing. Anyone ever read Hell's Angels by him? I've always wanted to pick that up, but never have.

    If you're into that kind of stuff, maybe give William S. Burroughes a try. I think Naked Lunch is his most popular work.

    It's pretty intense reading, and pretty out there. ymmv :D

    ISBN is 0802132952, btw.

    Seems Thompson's more popular, but having read them I thought people into one would sort of automatically know about the other? Am I tripping out here? :D

    The book and video are both great, Hunter S.Thompson is a genius.

    all the educated people i know say books are always better than films.
    i have not had a chance to find that out fully for my self, but ive read hannibal lector books and they are better than the film.
    TRUST ME its alot more scary
