The last - "ABC of SciFi" to die...
Asimov Bradbury Clarke The Illustrated Man is one of my all time favorites, and I bet almost everyone has read Fahrenheit 451 in school. A great author-who really painted worlds with his words. I remember reading a short story in Golden Apples of the Sun, where he wrote about a school aged kid putting on that new pair of sneakers for the first time in summer. Bradbury made that simple act - relating the first inkling of the freedom ahead during the child's summer break, Bradbury made that simple truism poetic. He will be missed.

Odd, that Ray scorned the internet as a scam to enrich computer companies.. yet his passing is quickly reported via it.

RIP, Mr. Bradbury. With the loss of all the greats, I wonder who will take their places?

I hated to read until one day a teacher handed me "R is for Rocket". I then read the Martian Chronicles, the Illustrated Man and Farenheit 451.
From there I expanded to Arthur C Clark: 2001 A Space Odyssey (before the movie), Kurt Vonnegut:Breakfast of Champions, and Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land...

Wonderful writer. Could paint amazing scenes in ones mind. Hard to believe The Martian Chronicals and Fahrenheit 451 were written in the 1950's. Not sure if this is a rumor, but apparently he never drove a car and the JPL once let him remote control the Mars rover. How cool is that?
R.I.P. Mr. Bradbury and may you continue in time.
