Been reading him since 1949 when I first began to buy “Galaxy” Magazine.
I live in Southern California where Mr. Bradbury lives, so I’ve had the honor of meeting him in person.
Born August 22, 2010 ??? Something wrong there.
:)
I have enjoyed many hours of good entertainment because of his work.
ummmmmm 1920 maybe...
If he was born in 2010 he is a pretty prolific writer for his age ;)
I like him.
The correct birth year is August 20, 1920, of course.
Wrote a lot of time travel stories, did he?
Dear Mr. Bradbury, here is my highest compliment. You are a pretty good writer, but you are a GREAT storyteller.
In any case there is a viral video making the rounds. It IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK! However I have to admit I found it clever and catchy, although more over the top than the sort of video I would usually watch.
I won't post the title but I'll give a line from the tease.

She worked many of his titles into the video. There may be other more subliminal messages as well however I only watched it a couple of times and probably won't watch it again.
I can't help but wonder if he has seen it, and if so what he thinks of it.
I won't post the title. If you want to see it you'll have to search to find it but if you are offended, don't say I didn't warn you! There is foul langauge and inuendo but IIRC no graphic images.
Bradbury is now the subject in a sci-fi story? A future doppelganger or another Ray Bradbury in parallel universe(s)?
I have never read this, but someone once told me that Ray Bradbury wrote a story in which somehow an analysis of the fourth dimension discloses that homosexuals play an important role in reproduction. Do you know if this is true or if perhaps the person telling me this got the author wrong?
This is a great post... Happy Birthday to my favorite author of all time.... Reading Fahrenheit 451 as a teenager was a profound turning point for me... Although, the book is widely misunderstood, I see it as a cautionary tale of what our great country could devolve to if we continue to go down the road to apathy. We must keep our morals strong and we must keep the government’s feet to the fire!
Happy birthday to Mr. Bradbury.
Oh, I didn’t know he is still alive!
Dandelion Wine was a delightful book, and I really liked Something Wicked This Way Comes, as well.
One of my favorite Bradbury works was a short story—whose name escapes me now. It was about a normal little boy born into a family of immortals (vampires, etc.), and the way that his family cared for him, knowing that he wouldn’t be around for long.
Happy birthday, Mr. Bradbury!
Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Martian Chronicles, Death is a Lonely Business, Farewell Summer...all terrific novels (tho’ Chronicles and Dandelion aren’t really novels, but whatever)
“The Jar,” “The Veldt”...
I was gonna keep listing my favorite short stories of his but I’d be here all night.
I loved his short story, “The Time Machine”
