Ray Bradbury, one of the great figures of science fiction, died during the recent transit of Venus.

RIP

[Patrick]

Sad to see him go, but what an awesome legacy he left behind for us to enjoy!

Is he getting cremated?

Seriously, I love Ray Bradbury. He made my Sci-Fi module in my first year of University worth it just by reading Fahrenheit 451. It is a shame that he is gone, but as Patrick said, an awesome legacy was left behind. I find it funny that so many SF writers were actually correct in their propositions of a semi-dystopian future.

This made me really sad.

I took a class over speculative fiction for an English elective last semester, and most of the books were dull and/or stupid. But we read Something Wicked This Way Comes. And it was one of the few books I really enjoyed reading. The other books that were kind of fun also had a lot of issues (The Hunger Games...). But I had no problems with it. I read the whole thing and loved it. I laughed and sympathized and just thought it was all-around a great book. I'm really glad I got a chance to read one of his books before his passing. Rest in peace, you awesome author.

I love Something Wicked This Way Comes - easily one of my favorite books. Bradbury was such a fantastic author, I'm really sad he's gone.

The last of the masters have left us.    Now who do we have to look up to?

*edit* I feel this would be  an appropreate place to link to the "Fuck Me Ray Bradbury" video in his honor, but sadly school computers don't allow youtubing of any sort (but I can come here...go figure.) If you haven't seen it, go look for it.  It's worth the watch and a cute song at that.
