HUNTER S THOMPSON HOLY CRAP

I've seen a clockwork orange. There are a lot of books I would probably love that are ruined for me because I already love the film (trainspotting, for instance)

The Rum Diary
Hell's Angels: A Strange And Terrible Saga
Fear & Loathing: On The Campaign Trail '72
Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child In the Final Days of the American Century
