So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Tuesday, February 22, 2005Fear and Loathing in the afterlife Fare thee well then Hunter S. Thompson. I never read any of his work until last year. I always imagined it a bit (wrongly) sordid. Lady El has a selection of Manuel's books and as I was complaining of reading too little, she suggested I should look at the shelf and choose something. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas sort of jumped out at me. thewife said "good choice." I read it in a sitting I think, couldn't put it down. It was immense, depraved certainly but definitely not sordid. I'm glad I waited til I was grown up before reading it though.posted by timesnewroman at 6:48 AM
