Ah yes, the good Doctor with a fine prescription. Hunter Thompson is really a fascinating character and the "Gonzo" style is definitely one of the coolest literary movements in modern American lit. He wrote some really cool things especially concentrating on the "outsiders and outlaws" of American society.
I wrote a quick rundown (talking about Thompson's associate Oscar Zeta Acosta as well) of Thompson and Gonzo Journalism in another subreddit and you can actually read the entirety of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas online via The Rolling Stone where it was originally published in parts around 1967 (in case anyone is interested in some fantastic free literature.)
Edit: This letter was one of the many included in Letters of Note: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience compiled by Shaun Usher. Thompson himself also released a complilation of his correspondence during his fear and loathing years The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman (both are also commonly available at public libraries if you don't feel like spending the money.)
I'm reading and enjoying Letters of Note by Shaun Usher -- it has amazing correspondence throughout history's greatest figures, corresponding to history's greatest or most significant events, or just interesting correspondence exchanges! It's based on the blog of the same name, which you can check out online here: http://www.lettersofnote.com
Fascinating and very engaging!
