RIP Ray Bradbury

ray bradbury had a profound influence on my life, emotional, intellectual and spiritual... Something Wicked This Way Comes was one of those books that, even though i had never heard of the term in those long-ago days (in 1962, i was the same age as the two protagonists), was truly a mind-altering experience... for days after reading the last page, the world looked and felt different... i believe i am a better person for having read ray bradbury...

Arthur C. Clarke

i've read science fiction all my life... i've branched out considerably, but sf has always been a genre i return to no matter which other type of reading has occupied my current frame of mind... when i was thirteen, i remember that i read the local public library completely out of sf... it was at that point i started hoarding my loose change from school to be able to afford to hit the bookstore regularly... without a single doubt, one of the books that impacted me the most, one that impacts me to this day, was clarke's childhood's end...

he will be missed...
