Hunter S. Thompson was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1937. He expressed dissatisfaction with writing at a young age, and after high school began his journalistic career while serving in the United States Air Force. After his military service, Thompson traveled all over the country to select a wide range of magazine articles and developed a very busy reporting style to be called "Gonzo's Art." He would apply this style to his well-known 1977 book of Fear, and He will do it in Las Vegas, which was a quick and lasting success. Throughout his life, Thompson's hard-working life — which included the use of illicit drugs and the constant love of guns — and his anti-aging work made him an icon of constant counting. However, his love of material things had a profound effect on many other areas of life, and in 2005 Thompson committed suicide at the age of 67.
