  1. I've just finished reading Bradbury's obit in The New York Times - it was a very good one. I'm not as familiar with Bradbury's work as I should be, but familiar enough to mourn the loss of this great talent.

    I have Bradbury's book on writing and always remember his admonition that 'all writers should read poetry.'

  2. Yvette,

    He was one of the great US short story writers. I grew up reading his stories. I suspect he and Ted Sturgeon, another one of the greats, had a strong and unrecognized influence on me.
