As much as I appreciate the Gonzo work of HST, my favourite book of Hunter is still his first one called Hell's Angels back from the late 60s. It's a very powerful piece of observing journalism and I highly recommend this particular read to anyone interested in books.
If you can find full text of the article The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved, it's absolutely worth a read.
Oh yeah, that one is a true masterpiece, too. It's included in one of my HST sports books, but I'd have to check my book shelf to confirm which one.
