I just hear the man who gave us - amongst others - FAHRENHEIT 451, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES and THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES has died.


A sad loss. Wherever he is now, I hope he raises a glass of Dandelion Wine at midnight.

Pity. I've read Farenheit 451 this year. It has really anticipated the Kirchners' regime in my country.

Bradbury was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century (and don't let any literature snobs tell you otherwise). Few authors have produced literature with the astonishing mixture of deeply-felt humanity and imagination that Bradbury always brought to his work.
