    No...

    He was a journalist.

    He also wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and a number of other excellent reads...

    Seriously one of the best journalists to have ever lived.

    Like I say, one of my personal heroes...

    Read "The Rum Diary".... Such a good book...

    His first, although it was only published in '98 (According to the beeb)...

    I feel so sad :(

    Tops - Surely you have heard of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

    Even if you are a young guy, you would have heard of the movie with Johnny Depp. I definately recommend adding a few of his books to your reading list (when you aren't reading DP posts of course)

    Yes, heard of that but not seen/read it. Think my flatmate has it on VHS, might have a look when I can drag myself away from the digital stuff.

    Well, if you've seen pirates of the Carrabian(Sp?!?)... the character Depp plays in that is extermley similiar to the one he plays in Fear and Loathing (He actually plays Thompson himself)...

    Many of the same character traits between the pirate and the Journalist ;)
