USA Today is reporting that Ray Bradbury has died in California, at the age of 91.

I've been meaning to read Fahrenheit 451, and this is as good a time as any.

RIP. Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes are great books. He was a great speaker as well and a defender of fantasy and science-fiction

Loved his work, pretty much all of it.

Was quite taken with the fact that we loved the exact same books as a kid. Sadly I was never told to live forever by an electric man though.

RIP.

my favorite author read all his books and short stories many times over.
“It was the face of spring, it was the face of summer, it was the warmness of clover breath. Pomegranate glowed in her lips, and the noon sky in her eyes. To touch her face was that always new experience of opening your window one December morning, early, and putting out your hand to the first white cool powdering of snow that had come, silently, with no announcement, in the night. And all of this, this breath-warmness and plum-tenderness was held forever in one miracle of photographic is chemistry which no clock winds could blow upon to change one hour or one second; this fine first cool white snow would never melt, but live a thousand summers.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Loved his stuff as a kid. Awesome. On the podium with Asimov and Clarke for me.
