yeah, I guess. But I still like my mags. Can't get the NME over here, but I do get Rock Sound. Rolling Stone has gone a bit shit lately. I mean, they put Barack Obama on their cover! Lame. But Hails and Horns is okay, as is Paste (sometimes it's a bit pretentious, though) and a few others over here.

The Rum Diary
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Gonzo Papers 1-4
The Great Shark Hunt (it's a bit drier than the others, you may like it, you may not.)
also, more recently
Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness: Modern History from the Sports Desk
All written for Rolling Stone, and most, if not all, were published in the magazine at some point.

but slightly better if you read the Rum Diary first. If you like those two, then the rest should be enjoyable too.

I vaguely gather that he wrote them whilst attempting to write something else and they ended up being the product, but are they actually in the gonzo journalism style and about politics or what?

Rum Diary is less political, it mentions some of the politics of South America a bit, as well as documenting an odd period of time he spent there, but is largely to do with his earlier experiences with lefties.
Fear and Loathing is mostly debauchery, chunk of politics and nonsense, but mostly sadness as America moves away from the "love" generation.
The rest of the books, the essays on Aspen etc are heavily political in places, especially the Great Shark Hunt, but to my knowledge, the way they are written is certainly in the gonzo style.
Edit: When I said "it is one attraction of them" I meant that the books are sometimes open to speculation on the meaning of his writing, sometimes he makes sense, and sometimes he doesn't at all. Things don't have to make sense to be entertaining and interesting, after all.

As I said I know very little of him above the obvious. And that Spider in Transmetropolitan was based on him, except a mad version who seems to blow everything up.

fuck no. Had never heard of her until seeing her name twice on here tonight. Googled it, read about it, said "Meh" to myself and then joined in like a twunt* ;)
