Eloquent high praise.
It has been too long since I read an Orson Scott Card novel.

It's been too long since I read "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Bradbury. Cracked open my old copy and read it last night after hearing about his death. Among many other things, a haunting meditation on middle age and yearning for lost youth - not an aspect of the story I appreciated as much the last time I read the book in college.

A good author’s well-written eulogy for another gifted author. We’ve been lucky to have the both of them. Mr. Bradbury’s wonderful books colored my youth, along with Asimov and Herbert, Heinlein and others. Mr. Card, too, since first reading Ender’s Game. Thank you for posting this.

His short story 'West' should be read by all preppers.
