Discovery News Space Writer Irene Klotz’ ode to Ray Bradbury:
Science Fiction Maestro Bradbury Dies
As Venus slipped back into the dark shroud of space last night, she may have taken along one of our best — science fiction author Ray Bradbury.
The creative mind behind “The Martian Chronicles,” “Fahrenheit 451” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” died Tuesday night in Los Angeles. He was 91.
His publisher, Harper Collins, said Bradbury “died peacefully … after a lengthy illness,” not a bad way to go, all things considered.

![Fuck all yall stooped ass mother fuckers. this books perfect for adolescents.
In South Carolina a teacher has been placed on administrative leave for reading excerpts of Orson Scott Card’s science fiction classic Ender’s Game to his middle school students.
“The parent that reported him to the school district complained that the book was pornographic,” Tod Kelly writes. “[T]hat same parent also asked the local police to file criminal charges against the teacher. As of today, the police have not yet decided whether or not to file charges (which is probably a good sign that they won’t). The school district, however, appears to agree with the parent, is considering firing the teacher and will be eliminating the book from the school.
