Welcome to Litsy!

As usual, no-one fell for my admittedly very weak April Fool's gag. Hope you, my fellow Littens, have not been 'got' too many times today. Me, I fall for everything - including the old "your shoelace is undone" when I was wearing zip up boots!

The king of gonzo journalism and home-made banana loaf - two things i did not expect to be mentioning together!

I do love Ralph Steadman's artwork, even better in big hardback.

I loved this book when I first read it, and still have a soft spot for it. Undeniably not Hunter‘s best writing, but it rises to a higher level when combined with Steadman‘s brilliant and horrifying artwork.

#FallIntoBooks Day 26: I generally feel that Ralph Steadman should be read by more people and that he has #LesserKnownComics when it shouldn't be the case.

This is my first Hunter S. Thompson experience. I don't know why I waited so long--I'm loving it so far!

My #favouritechildhoodbook is Emergency Mouse by Bernard Stone and illustrated by Ralph Steadman. My uncle is a master of finding amazing kids books and he got this for me in the early eighties. I have never seen another copy and I am so happy that I kept mine. My Dad tried to find more copies for my niece and daughter but it's hard to find. #riotgrams #picturebook #gonzoforkids

This gorgeous book comes out today! Anthony Bourdain's latest cookbook in about 10 years is filled with decades-worth of his experience as a professional chef and world traveler - and is perfect for entertaining even the most discriminating guests. The cover, created by artist Ralph Steadman, is as edgy, irreverent, and fun as Bourdain himself!
