That's one of his better books. I've got a denim jacket that was designed personally by Ralph Steadman.

I'll see what I can do, but I don't have a digital camera and am paranoid about using pictures straight off of my phone. The jacket is about two sizes too big.

Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better

I am reading a book by Serge Bouchard (anthropologist from Québec) and Marie-Christine Lévesque called Ils ont couru l'Amérique, it is about 7 or 8 coureurs des bois (runners of the wood?), who were the main actors of the fur trade between the french colony and the natives. Very interesting book.

Do you speak/read French, too? I need to get a pair of glasses before I start a new book. My vision has been on the decline for years now.

He's never bothered checking out any book recommendations I've given him, even tho I found the english version links, cuz of course, french speaking authors aren't worth wasting your time...

I'm a big fan of Albert Camus, the great French speaking absurdist from the 40's and 50's.

One of the books I've recommended several times to PO is by Charles Baudelaire, its called Artificial Paradises, it is about hashisch and wine, the hash they had at the time contained opium in it (well the one they were getting from the Arabs installed in France), its very informative and interesting, explains the origins of the term Haschisch, etc. Awesome book

I'll check it out when I get my new glasses next week. Thanks for the recommendation. I've read a few quotes, but never looked into it any further.
