Nick, have you ever read Fear and Loathing? It's a fucking great book. While I'm am not particulary distressed Thompson's remains might be shot out of a cannon.

That's just fucking cool.

Miller was liked, but not well liked.

and to continue this spree of disjointed conversation have you gotten your 1099 from 21st yet? I thought not. Call and yell, it's how I got mine.

Well...i have to disagree. While thompson may have been overrated so was arthur miller. And Thompson pretty much changed written journalism. That's a pretty big accomplishment. Plus you have to remember that a generation of college kids identified with Thompson. Generations of College kids have only shuddred when they are forced to read miller.

Just my take.

All I know is that from what I read of Miller, he is an amazing author. And writing what is arguably one of the greatest plays in American History should give you a little more than a glance.

yes...so comparing a "Playwright" to a "Novelist" would be trite wouldn't it?
