Finished Hunter S. Thompson's "The Rum Diary". It's his first novel, started when he was just 22, but it really carries all the seeds and style that made him famous with his later works. It's a dark and depraved comedy about reporters in Puerto Rico during the late 1950's, and it makes you want to laugh and also give the next passerby in the street a mean punch in the kidney, cuz people are mostly scum, but somehow entertaining... It's a tale of listlessness, jealousy, exploitation and the dark refuge of alcohol.

At under 150 pages and devoid of big words or over-flowery details, it's a very quick read. It reminded me alot of 'The Sun Also Rises' but I could actually relate to the characters and, well, just more enjoyable in my eyes.
