    He was 91. He wrote Fahrenheit 451 and The Maritan Chronicles.

    I loved the Martian Chronicles. I didn't read the other but saw the movie.

    His books were the first science fiction I ever read, at the age of 11. Those from the 1950's science fiction age will never be replaced.

    Yep, Ray Bradbury's books were the first scifi I ever read. Loved his books and short stories.

    RIP RB

    Me too, I devoured his books growing up, short stories, Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, whatever I could find.

    Then loved seeing my children do the same. Great writer!

    Poor guy..

    --Didn't care much for his SciFi, but enjoyed his works of fantasy, like Something Wicked This Way Comes

    Ray, Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke. Giants of the golden age of sci-fi.
