Such sad news to start the day with, for me he was America's greatest author.

“Death doesn't exist. It never did, it never will. But we've drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we've got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing.”
― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

I was going to start this thread, but it seems bad news travels fast. I'm so saddened. The literary world has lost one its true giants. We'll miss you Ray.

Great quote. The man is a legend and will be missed by many of his avid readers. I remember just last year exposing my 11 (at the time) year old daughter to his writing and feeling like a was giving her a special gift. RIP.

Literally woke up just now to this news. My day is ruined before it started.

Very few giants walked the Earth these days. Now there is one less. RIP Mr. Bradbury.

Brad, you should have done that the day it was announced. I did. It looks like a great collection, and the latest update looks like it will be available soon.
