Ray Bradbury, a renowned author of science fiction and fantasy, died last night at the age of 91. I haven't read Bradbury in many many years, but remember well reading several of his short stories, as well as Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Strangely enough, I have yet to set aside time to read his more notable works, Farenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles. With regard to the latter of these two books, we actually have a leatherbound, authentically signed copy that we rescued from the storm rubble in March.
Looking through his bibliography, one cannot help but notice that even as he advanced in years, Bradbury kept writing. His last novel was 6 years ago, but he had published plays, short story collections even up to the past couple years. That's pretty remarkable. Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury.
