"Wonder had gone away, and he had forgotten that all life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other."

Godspeed, Ray Bradbury
I'll follow up with another post later this week, but in case you haven't heard the news already: Ray Bradbury died at age 91.
Bradbury was probably my favorite living author and an amazing talent. He'll be missed.
Fahrenheit 451 was wildly prescient. My favorite Bradbury book is probably The Halloween Tree. Or maybe The October Country. Or maybe The Martian Chronicles. The list goes on...
Though I literally did just buy R is for Rocket in a used bookstore last week... I haven't read everything Bradbury has written and so have that and others to look forward to.

Brian,
It's hard to believe there won't be another new collection of stories from Ray Bradbury.

R.I.P.
Fred: All I can say to that is :(

Pericles: Yes, hard to pick a favorite.
