P J O'rourke R I P

At his peak one of the world's greatest satirists and political writers (shame he lost his 'bite' in the 21st century). I always had the feeling that Jeremy Clarkson, in the interregnum between BBC's 'Top Gear' transforming from a dull show on cars to becoming "The Clarkson Show" Clarkson bought the complete works of PJ and decided that was going to be his persona.

 

Ah,I've read many of his books.
Sad to hear this.
Very true about JC.

 

Yes I've read a few of his books.

Quite amusing some of them.

 

And on that bombshell... Car and Driver magazine are republishing some of PJ's car reviews.
