Really sad to hear this news, though he did make it to 91.
One of the very few genuine greats.

I'm 50 years old and there has always been a Ray Bradbury in the world. Not anymore though.

Doug - his body may have died but his soul is in his work.

Sad news. I've enjoyed his work ever since being freaked out by "Skeleton" and "The Small Assassin" as a kid.

I have not read a lot of his work. But I have sweet memories from The Martian Chronicles, Something Wicked This Way Comes, “A Sound of Thunder”, and "Frost and Fire".
The Martian Chronicles is coming down from the bookshelf again, into my greedy hands for a re-read sometime ahead.

The October Country and Something Wicked This Way Comes had a huge impact on me as a kid.

Doug - his body may have died but his soul is in his work. It's just so odd that you never realize what you have until it's gone. It also reminds uss how important a writer and their works can be to us, especially if they were an important part of your youth. Doug

I intend to read it to my daughter when we've finished The Day of the Triffids.
