The Man who Illustrated

RIP. I don't know why, these guys are generally live long, maybe it's their imaginative brains.

Anyway, it's a big bummer for me, because I don't want to believe that Bradbury's death is related to me accidentally ripping the cover of the book, "TMC", while I was trying to make a list of my fav SF/F books for Edgewriter's thread, about two weeks ago.

One of my favorite authors. I grew up listening to his 30 minute dramatized short stories:

My favorites were, "Dark They Were, and Golden Eyed", "The Wind", "The Ravine", and "Night Call Collect". If you've got kids, these are awesome ways to get them into a beloved author and get their imaginations running. They are dirt *** cheap on ebay as well.

RIP Ray.
 
Funny, something I can agree with TB on. RB was a true imaginative genius. Read this guy a lot in my teens. RIP.
 
My brother and I used to watch Ray Bradbury Theater all the time. Great stories/memories from my childhood.

"People ask where do you get your ideas. Well right here. All
this is my Martian landscape. Somewhere in this room is an
African veldt. Just beyond perhaps is a small Illinois town where
I grew up. And I'm surrounded on every side by my magicians
toyshop. I'll never starve here. I just look around, find what I
need, and begin. I'm Ray Bradbury, and this is" The Ray Bradbury
Theater. "Well then, right now what shall it be. Out of all this
what do I choose to make a story. I never know where the next one
will take me. The trip, exactly one half exhilaration, exactly
one half terror".
