OMG! Ray Bradbury Dead at 91 this Tue!

[tantricia44]

I can't believe it, the most weirdest science fiction writer has left this realm! Thought the guy would live forever in fact when i saw how old he looked, I was shocked b/c in my mind's eye I only remember him in his youthful prime. Sigh, another Icon in my generation gone like dust in the wind. It just reminds me that as my idols & hero's meet Death....that sooner or later I to will be following right behind them. I now understand when I was young my grandma's sadness when her favorite idols/actors passed. It's like a piece of you, your identity/self, all things familiar to you dies too. My favorite book/movie was Fahrenheit 451! Any FC members a Ray B. fan? If so, what science fiction books did you like best or which of the movies from his books did you watch?  RIP RB 2012 take that last bow & wave goodby!

Sorry to hear that Ray Bradbury passed away.   However, Fahrenheit 451 was one of my favorite books, also.

Why the surprise? Check it out. I don't think there is anybody alive that was alive 150 years ago. Everybody dies.

He was one of my favorite writers along with Louis Lamour who had the majic of writing a story and brining you into it with his words.  I will miss him and the works he might have written.  But yes F 451 was my favorite of his.  RIP Ray.

I liked a lot of his short stories.  I also really like "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

If there was a Mt Rushmore of science fiction writers, Ray Bradbury would be on it.  I never read any of his books, but I did watch The Ray Bradbury Theater television show.  He will be missed.
