RIP Ray Bradbury.

Good bye Ray Bradbury. Thank you for showing me that SF was so much more than Star Trek and for understanding about new trainers.
Time to re-read the Mars Chronicles.

Rest in peace.

Here's the BBC report of his death.

Author Ray Bradbury published two pieces in The New Yorker, and both are now unlocked for all readers:

One of the guys from the CA board, who was an extra in the Colour of Magic film, was saying that there was a scene where they had to burn books (which they didn't want to do). One of the books in the pile was a Ray Bradbury.

On Planet Pip they would have been Kindles!!

And I don't know if you meant the pun or not!

Burning books for TV would be OK, I'm sure it was the reasons for burning books that Bradbury hated rather than the burning itself. I mean, excess books that don't get sold, going into landfill... that doesn't make for a thrilling read, does it?

[Bouncy Castle]

Pun?

[cheery_j.]

kindle - burn

[Bouncy Castle]

Oh.
Good.
Grief.
