Departures For the October Country

Just heard this afternoon at work that Ray Bradbury died yesterday, at the age of 91. The most I can find says he perished after a "long illness". I hope he didn't suffer too much; I know 91 is a long life, but it still feels like a punch in the gut. The Martian Chronicles was the first 'adult' book I ever picked out for myself. "The Long Years"

Bradbury is one of the REALLY big names...with a character and literary genius to match. He'll be missed. Much.
