Kingdom of Fear
by Hunter S. Thompson

Kingdom of Fear reads like an autobiography in some places and a scrapbook in others.  It's amazing fun to read.  Hunter pulls no punches when it comes to discussing America and our current situation of shit.  Even though I'm tired of hearing about all the crap, Hunter makes it fun.

Yes.

And he reflects back on some of his absurd brushes with the law, his trip to Grenada during the invasion and other times in his life when he threw himself into the disaster zone.

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
by Toby Young

This is required reading for anyone trying to break into the magazine publishing world whether as a freelance writer or editor.

How to Lose Friends is an autobiography of a writer making it to editor of Vanity Fair magazine and mucking up every chance for continued success.

It's amazing he lasted as long as he did at Vanity Fair.  His old boss, Graydon Carther, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair says about Toby, "Toby's a piece of gum that stuck to my shoe five years ago and that I still can't get off....basically I forgot to fire Toby Young every day for two years."
