Ray Bradbury Has Died

He was one of the first authors (other than the likes of Dr. Seuss) that I read. NPR says:

The website io9.com, which appears to have broken the news, says the 91-year-old author of "The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked this Way Comes, and many more literary classics" died in Los Angeles, possibly early this morning. "We've got confirmation from the family as well as his biographer, Sam Weller," io9 adds.
