Science Fiction Master Ray Bradbury passed away peacefully Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles at 91 years of age. Story here. And here is a wonderful essay he wrote for the New Yorker about his grandfather.

His stories were a great inspiration to me as a kid to not be afraid to look up and wonder, to question authority, to read and read more, and that ‘insanity is relative’ (From the short story The Meadow).
