*nods* Just found out as well. A great influence on my work, and a great inspiration. I'd long considered him the greatest living sf/f writer, and I don't think calling him one of the best of all time, regardless of genre, is at all a stretch.

I wish I could have had the chance to see him in person...

He is now finally a god...

Oh, no! And to think I kept putting off mailing him my copy of The Best of Planet Stories to get his autograph on my copy of his and Leigh Brackett's story Enchantress of Venus!

Rest in peace and live in the eternal glory reserved for the great authors, Mister Bradbury!
