Re-read this for the umpteenth time the other day.
Can't think of any other book that makes me guffaw quite as much.

Seemed more like a vanity project for Depp
Absolutely. He even had to set up his own production company, Infinitum Nihil, due to the majors backing down.
I thought the casting was great – just a weak script, and it just didn't translate from the book at all well.
There's several stories in The Great Shark Hunt that I think would have worked much better on screen.
There was talk at one time of Depp turning J.P Donleavy's classic The Ginger Man – one of Hunter's favourite books – into a film. not sure if it ever got off the ground though.

Best bit was when Putin asks for his pen back.
He likes his pens like he likes his oil: in his pocket.
Cycled past someone down – around midday – near London Zoo, Regent's Park. He was sitting down on the side of the road with a couple attending to him. I'm guessing one of them was the driver. He had a couple of nasty cuts to the face.
If it's anyone from here, I hope you're alright.
