RIP Ray Bradbury

[firecat]

A story of Ray Bradbury's that has always haunted me, and one that seems appropriate for the occasion, is "There Will Come Soft Rains" from The Martian Chronicles. Wikipedia links to a PDF version of the story.

His book on writing, Zen in the Art of Writing is also superb.

That's always been my favourite story as well.

Godspeed, he shall be missed.

I'm especially fond of "Death Is a Lonely Business," because it is set in Venice,CA in the late 1940's. He captured the place so well! I have deep early memories of Venice just a few years later. It was and is a magic place.
