Completely off Topic....

I just found out one of my favorite writers of all time died today at age 91, Rest in peace Ray Bradbury. You will be missed, but your words will live on forever in our hearts!!Just thought I would open this thread if anyone here is interested in sharing/commenting about this...or how this great man's books may have touched your lives in any way.

For me...I would have to say that my favorite of all time (Still have the same copy I owned in highschool 20 years ago) was his collection of short stories "I Sing the Body Electric" Some of those stories thrilled me, scared the living daylights out of me, inspired me, touched me, in ways that I still go back to the book and re-read them just for the simple pleasure of enjoying a good story.  He is one of the authors that had originally inspired me to become a writer.  I began reading his stories when I was 8, (I was a bit ahead of my age in reading) and I've never stopped. I will miss him.
