I now need a new favorite living author.

RIP Bradbury- I will never forget reading and rereading your Martian Chronicles, and the daydreams that came from your short stories...

RIP Red Raspberry

neritz		2012-06-06 10:25:53 AM

Wait? He was still alive?

/RIP.

ManateeGag		2012-06-06 10:27:07 AM

in other news, Ray Bradbury was still alive.

R.A.Danny		2012-06-06 10:30:33 AM

91 is a pretty good run, he certainly left his mark.

Recoil Therapy		2012-06-06 10:38:57 AM

R.A.Danny: 91 is a pretty good run, he certainly left his mark.

Indeed, his books will live on. RIP

/...thought he died a long time ago....

Les Comdien Masque		2012-06-06 10:42:24 AM

I think I'll re-read "Something Wicked This Way Comes" with my daughter tonight.

RIP Red Raspberry

Magorn		2012-06-06 10:49:16 AM

I will wear my Marvelous Ice Cream suit tonight (that I bought after reading that story) in your honor tonight Mr. Bradbury

/a truly great and humane writer with a deeply tragic life. You're gonna be missed.

markie_farkie		2012-06-06 10:49:24 AM

Lor M. Ipsum: =/

I personally think the whole RIP meme is VERY tired, but I made an exception just this once.

RIP for real, Ray.. Your works will live on for centuries to come.

TravisBickle62		2012-06-06 10:50:53 AM

RIP fictional guy

kronicfeld		2012-06-06 10:52:02 AM

He died Tuesday night, his daughter said Wednesday. Alexandra Bradbury did not have additional details.

Has someone in his family recently had a baby? The police should really look into this.

ringersol		2012-06-06 10:52:08 AM

Fark me. Ray Bradbury?

Alphax		2012-06-06 10:52:16 AM

Aww, not my link.. not that I thought I had much chance.

Bell's Boy		2012-06-06 10:52:30 AM

I wonder if he will be cremated?

Perhaps by firemen?

metallion		2012-06-06 10:52:36 AM

You are a classic.... Thank you for expanding my reading experience. RIP.

cyrus_hunter		2012-06-06 10:52:51 AM

I'm going to break out a few episodes of Ray Bradbury Theatre tonight in his honor.

rcf1105		2012-06-06 10:53:52 AM

He was one of the sci-fi authors I read when I was a kid that got me into the genre. RIP Ray.

cgraves67		2012-06-06 10:53:53 AM

Pfft. A real journalist would ask if he is going to be cremated, and if so, at what temperature?

Leeds		2012-06-06 10:53:54 AM

"The Martian Chronicles" touched me as a child.

// No, not that way

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-06-06 10:54:00 AM

Today, I am truly sad

/Thank you, Mr. Bradbury

^^This

I thought he was long dead, like Andy Griffith and Abe Vigoda.

Akabander		2012-06-06 10:54:21 AM

Goodbye Ray. Thank you for sharing your worlds with me, I will be forever in your debt.

/dusty in here

Boatmech		2012-06-06 10:54:23 AM

Damn.

No shiat. I didn't know he was still with us. And now he's not :(
RIP

basemetal		2012-06-06 10:55:01 AM

This one makes me sad.

Prank Call of Cthulhu		2012-06-06 10:55:02 AM

Very sad. His stories turned me on to sci-fi as a kid.

Rachel Bloom will be inconsolable: "Fark me, Ray Bradbury".

wakizashi		2012-06-06 10:55:07 AM

The ABC's of Science Fiction: Asimov, Bester, and Clarke.

What about Ray Bradbury?

I'm aware of his work.

Limp_Bisquick		2012-06-06 10:55:14 AM

So no more Twilight books?
Yes!!!
_j/k

loooongview1		2012-06-06 10:55:38 AM

There will come soft rains for years in his memory.

CodeRedEd		2012-06-06 10:55:49 AM

RiP Ray. Your stories were poetry. You made me want to live on Mars. I wanted to be a living book. Say hello to Asimov, Clark, Heinlein and Herbert for me.

havocmike		2012-06-06 10:56:20 AM

You'll be missed, Gary Bradberry.

pkellmey		2012-06-06 10:56:47 AM

I really thought he was already dead. The more you know...

syzygy whizz		2012-06-06 10:57:04 AM

Safe journey, sci-fi guy...
Your other worlds await.

/ damn...

shivashakti		2012-06-06 10:57:13 AM

Aww... I loved Fahrenheit 451.

khanathor		2012-06-06 10:57:29 AM

I will miss his Saturday morning bass fishing show.

FarkUChris		2012-06-06 10:57:33 AM

Ellison is still alive. He's kind of a little bastard, though.

/has a sad

AfroX		2012-06-06 10:58:02 AM

I will burn a book in his honor today.

Khazar-Khum		2012-06-06 10:58:30 AM

The times I met him at Comiccon he was kind and enthusiastic. My service dog liked him instantly. He always stopped to say hi, even if it was just to me & not her. He was one of the good guys.

RIP

thecpt		2012-06-06 10:58:39 AM

shivashakti: Aww... I loved Fahrenheit 451.

I burned my copy.
/that was the point of that one right?

StrikitRich		2012-06-06 10:58:46 AM

Yes he did. R.I.P. Illustrated Man.

YoungSwedishBlonde		2012-06-06 10:58:48 AM

Let me join the chorus of...he was still alive?

Ambitwistor		2012-06-06 10:58:54 AM

Ray Bradbury actually lived to 92, but a time traveler accidentally crushed a butterfly and killed him a year early.

Clash City Farker		2012-06-06 10:59:33 AM

He's up in Heaven now.

Znuh		2012-06-06 10:59:38 AM

Thank you for such incredible writing, for sharing so many incredible places, people and emotions.

Holy crap, it's really dusty today...

Tyrone Slothrop		2012-06-06 11:00:14 AM

Damn, Bradbury was one of my favorites. Asimov and Clarke had great ideas, but Bradbury was more about the characters.
