I just saw this and was just going to post on it.

RIP Mr. Bradbury. You helped me to love science fiction. . .and to love the feeling of flipping through a paper copy of books.

You will surely be missed.

R.I.P. Ray Bradbury.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things. ~~Ray Bradbury

DragonCon just asked me to write a tribute to Ray, which I did, though I won't be at DragonCon
this year (except maybe via Skype from Worldcon). Made me realize, once again, just how much
writers like myself owe him.

Even though I haven't much of his stuff I still respected him and his story telling abilities.

He will missed for more than one reason.
