Fahrenheit 451 author, Ray Bradbury, dies

[logroller]

F• 451 is one of the first two political novels I can remember reading. (Animal farm the other)No doubt I wasn't the only one inspired his work. The literary world has lost one of its greats, but his work lives on. Godspeed Mr. Bradbury.

Ray Bradbury, the science fiction-fantasy master who transformed his childhood dreams and Cold War fears into telepathic Martians, lovesick sea monsters, and, in uncanny detail, the high-tech, book-burning future of "Fahrenheit 451," has died. He was 91.

F 451 is a Great book. Awesome message.

And I still think the Martian Chronicles is the most well written SciFi book i've every read.

No doubt he was a truly great author. He inspired a lot of people and it wasnt with gory trash written crap. It was with thought provoking ideals, questions and imagination!--Tyr

Bradbury wrote one of the most thought-provoking and memorable stories I have ever read. It haunts long after the reader has turned the page. It is called There Will Come Soft Rains (http://www.jerrywbrown.com/datafile/datafile/110/ThereWillComeSoftRains_Bradbury.pdf) I have loved his command of the written word but that story has always been the most memorable. A great mind has moved on.
