Farewell, Ray Bradbury! (NT) Message #1 Posted by Walter B on 7 June 2012, 1:55 p.m. nt

Re: Farewell, Ray Bradbury! (NT) Message #2 Posted by Gilles Carpentier on 7 June 2012, 3:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Walter B RIP. I love this man, I love his "martian chronicles" ! Some times ago, I read an excellent interview of him in "Le Monde" (about women, books, SF...). I was impressed by his enthusiasm, humor, light and deep, so dark and optimistic at the same time ... So American and by some parts so French. A kind of Jules Verne of the XX century... I have not the link on the "Le Monde" article, but I remember he spoke about internet like here : http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/20/us/20ventura.html?_r=3&partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all "Yahoo called me eight weeks ago,” he said, voice rising. “They wanted to put a book of mine on Yahoo! You know what I told them? ‘To hell with you. To hell with you and to hell with the Internet. " :D Edited: 7 June 2012, 3:24 p.m.

Re: Farewell, Ray Bradbury! (NT) Message #3 Posted by Luiz C. Vieira (Brazil) on 7 June 2012, 4:27 p.m., in response to message #1 by Walter B Sad to know about it... Thanks (in a respectful way, of course) for sharing the (bad) news. Of course, his legacy prevails, and I very much like SciFi reading, but it saddens me the missing. RIP. Luiz (Brazil)
