My second all-time favorite fiction author (behind Tolkien). Sad news. We've lost a giant.

Re: Ray Bradbury dead at 91
We learned of the news here at my library about an hour ago. This one went straight to my heart. I logged in just to see if we already had a thread going.
Wah.

That's too bad. I enjoyed Fahrenheit 451.

Re: Ray Bradbury dead at 91
Some of my favorite novels of all time are from Ray Bradbury. I remember clearly the first time I read The Martian Chronicles: It was dark, mysterious and strangely beautiful.
It's also uncanny how far ahead of his time he was with the world of Fahrenheit 451. Such a great writer.

The Martian Chronicles is the only book I ever bothered to own 2 copies of.
This is a sad day indeed. He was pretty old though. Even legends can't live forever.

No!
I wish I knew what to say. So sad to see him go.
I shall reread his work yet again, to honor his memory.
