Author Hunter S. Thompson Kills Himself

Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of fictional journalism in books like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," fatally shot himself Sunday night at his home, his son said. He was 67.

Damn, Hunter was one of those influences on my life that people are always surprised at (Him and William S. Burroughs.) I loved the man's way with words, and the fact that he lived life by his own damn rules, and the rest of the world was left to struggle in his wake.

Time to reread Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
