    I am a massive fan of his works but I seem quite alone in that I'm not really surprised or upset by this at all. It just seems a fitting end for the founder of gonzo. I'm sure it was all part of his masterplan. Ralph Steadman pretty much confirmed that.

    Predictably, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. I love it. I've read it so many times.

    I think it will be fitting to start reading Kingdom Of Fear again tomorrow.
