One of the greatest books and movies ever is none other than, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It's the true story of what happened to Hunter S. Thompson and Oscar Zeta Acosta on their trip to Las Vegas to cover a race and a national DA convention. Of course they both used pseudonyms, because some crazy stuff went down in this book/movie. The movie as usual, didn't do the book justice, but it did a pretty damn good job. The movie stars Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro as Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo.
