Ray Bradbury

07/06/2012

Ray Bradbury, one of sci-fi's most loved authors, passed away recently at the ripe old age of 91. After more than 27 novels and short stories including Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles and Something Wicked This Way Comes Bradbury is credited with lifting the reputation of science fiction into the realms of literature. He was a long time supporter of non-e-books and will be missed by many.
The Huffington Post has put together a great set of quotes from Fahrenheit 451 that can be read here.
