Happy Birthday, Ray

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Today is Ray Bradbury’s birthday.

Ray and I go back a long way. Not too long, he is 57 years older than me and we’ve never met, but still. When I read Farenheight 451, I knew I had to become a writer. 20 years later, I’m still working on it. And whenever I get down, I break out my copy of The Martian Chronicles and read a few pages (or chapters) and I get back on the horse. Here’s to another 86 years!

Discussion topic: What stories of his have managed to evoke something in you? Longing? Lust? What?
