I don't have much more to say than that...

A great man has passed away. What else can I say except "Thank you, Mr Bradbury, wherver you are".

If there is a Heaven for writers, Ray Bradbury is up there swapping anecdotes with Mark Twain today.

Ray Bradbury was one of my favorite authors, and like a lot of other people, I first started reading his works in high school. My favorite novels of his are "The Illustrated Man", "Fahrenheit 451", and "The Martian Chronicles", and I've seen the movie version of "Fahrenheit 451", which is pretty good... despite some cheesy special effects.

I heard about his death the other day, and it inspired me to do a tribute to him. I think it turned out pretty good, though I don't mind constructive criticism.

I read Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 in middle school. He was a good author.

Ray Bradbury was... well, what can we say about him that hasn't been said already?

I read Farenheit 451 in middle school, and then followed that with Something Wicked This Way Comes in high school. I loved both of those books very much, and... well, I think they both speak to Ray Bradbury's abilities as a writer. I think his books will become classics of the current era, and... well, he's earned his place in history, that is for certain.

He's one of my favorite authors, and I haven't even nearly read all of his published works. This was a man who respected the written word because the written word came from the minds of people. I've always looked up to him for his view that the human mind is a beautiful, precious thing, and our greatest individual resource.

I am glad that I got my Fahrenheit 451 mission out before his death, not that it made any difference to him.

I don't know what else to say.

The year I went to Comic-Con.

He spoke about kindergarten, and reading, and books, and writing, and libraries, and the importance of all these things. I was amazed, and inspired, and listening to him filled me with something different, that I had never experienced from listening to someone before.

I remember reading Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the Illustrated Man, among others, and drinking the words up.

He has died, but will live forever.
