I just saw this on the news. Very sad, Ray was a legend. Thanks for all the great stories.
One of the greats. Rest In Peace, Mr. Bradbury. May he live forever in his books.
Met Ray many times. Sweetest guy imaginable and a brilliant writer.
Finally met him a couple years ago at a book signing. He actually fell asleep while signing his name for my wife!
I loved Ray Bradbury. He was an amazing writer with a glorious talent for evocative language, a child's heart, and a soaring imagination.
So sad to read that Mr. Bradbury as passed. But with his breadth of works he has surely earned his rest. May that rest be peaceful.
“....we should go back to the moon... We should never have left there. We should go to the moon and prepare a base to fire a rocket off to Mars and then go to Mars and colonize Mars. Then when we do that, we will live forever.”
“It’s been 90 god-damned incredible years.... Every day I’ve loved it. Because I’ve remained a boy. The man you see here is a 12-year-old boy, and the boy is still having fun....... You remain invested in your inner child by exploding every day. You don’t worry about the future, you don’t worry about the past, you just explode. If you are dynamic, you don’t have to worry about what it is you are. I’ve remained a boy, because boys run everywhere, they never look back, they run everywhere, they keep running running running. That’s me, the running boy.”
We have lost a giant and national treasure.
He's not gone, he's just hopped in the Toynbee Convector.
I just found out about it through Yahoo!News.

He was one of the greatest ones. Goodbye Mr. Bradbury. And thank you for your words. :*(
Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury... Fahrenheit 451 is still one of my favorite nightmare scenarios ever set on paper.
A fantastic author, he will be sadly missed.
'Martian Chronicles' was a revelation when I first read it.
One of the last of the golden age of scifi writers has left. He's off somewhere with Clarke and Asimov sharing drinks and stories.
Out of all of his writings this one always stuck with me and i thought it would be a great short film.

"There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them." - Ray Bradbury. RIP.
He wrote the book that became the one movie I have ever run screaming from a theatre from. What were my parents thinking?
Sad to hear the news. I of course am immediately reminded of this very NSFW video:
