Re: dead celebrities
Ray Bradbury died today. I'm sure some of you have no idea who that is but he was an icon. He wrote several novels, his most famous being Fahrenheit 451, and he wrote hundreds of short stories. He's mostly seen as a great sci fi author but he preferred to be called a fantasy writer because his stories weren't based in reality. Either way he inspired many people, like Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, and he changed the face of fantasy forever. He's also credited with predicting stuff like the ATM and televised car chases. Another interesting fact, he never had a drivers license because of a horrific crash he saw at a young age.
"We have too many cellphones. We've got too many internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now."
Ray Bradbury
Here's a quote from Stephen King-
"Ray Bradbury wrote three great novels and three hundred great stories," author Stephen King said. "One of the latter was called 'A Sound of Thunder.' The sound I hear today is the thunder of a giant's footsteps fading away. But the novels and stories remain, in all their resonance and strange beauty."
