http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/stor ... 55417888/1Ray 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.
He died Tuesday night, his daughter said Wednesday. Alexandra Bradbury did not have additional details.

The guy could write. I like his short story collection, October Country. Especially the story Fog Horn. (The love sick sea monster mentioned above.)

I can't find this on Kindle and am in the mood to read something other than Fahrenheit 451. Need some recommendations from Bradbury aficionados.seeahill wrote:The guy could write.

Re: Pour out some dandelion wine for Ray Bradbury
Martian Chronicles and Illustrated Man are both good. One nice thing about Bradbury is that a lot of his stuff is available in cheap pocket sized paperbacks-- may work as a backup when the Kindle's battery runs low.
