This morning, one of my favorite authors and one of the most prolific in American history, Rad Bradbury, passed away at age 91. My favorite book by him, Fahrenheit 451, is something that I know a lot of you on here would greatly enjoy. It's been interpreted hundreds of different ways- so there's no black and white. My favorite short story by him is the Veldt, which is basically about a possessed house.
RIP, Mr. Bradbury.

I don't really know Ray Bradbury too well, but I love reading, and I hate hearing how someone's favorite author or rolemodel passed away, even if I didn't know them. I hope his family copes well with this.

May he rest in peace.
I strongly suggest reading him. His books changed how the American public viewed technology and censorship.

My favorite book of his was A Graveyard for Lunatics. I thought the series of mystery novels he wrote were pretty underrated overall. It's interesting to see the depiction of himself as the narrator. It provided great insight into his mind and how he pictured himself.
I thoroughly disliked Fahrenheit 451. I didn't think Bradbury's prose style was anything to be marvelled over, but I appreciate he did a lot for the Sci-Fi genre.
I've never really read his works, but I did watch an episode of The Twilight Zone he wrote that was based on one of his stories. Kinda cheesy, but I enjoyed it. It was I Sing The Body Electric! if I recall correctly.
And I have heard of Something Wicked This Way Comes, and I would like to read it.
I'm not sure about Fahrenheit 451 though, but I have heard of it.
Regardless, Rest In Peace, Mr. Bradbury.
