Mr. Hunter S. Thompson1-4-01I laughed out loud while reading "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," during my stay

(13 months) at the Denver County Jail. Thank you for helping to bring a smile to my face.

I am now a hostage at the Colorado Women's Correctional Facility in Canon City. I feel somewhat "connected" to you in the surreality of the lives, however different, we lead. Yes, my life is surreal in a nightmarish sort of way.

Amongst the many disappointments in my life, one happens to be directly connected

to you! These M.F.'s banned your books from this and every other [Department of Corrections] library. How do you feel about that? I think it sucks!

So, I can only hope that one day I will be vindicated and I will be able to go home ... wherever that is ... and pleasure my humour with more of your writing.
