Ray was a huge proponent of libraries. If you want to honor the man, go visit your local library today. Check out a book. Shame on you if you don't have a library card, but it's not too late to get one. If you have some money or some books you can donate, help the library out while you're there.
Every year, I take on the order of two boxes of books to the library nearest me that has an annual book sale. Profits from this book sale help that library.
I replied to wglb, but I meant it as a call to everyone. I could have been more clear.
Bradbury gave a talk and did a book signing at my local library in Fullerton, CA. It was crazy inspirational. I loved how passionate he was about books and about public libraries in particular. I loved how he described his writing process, and his general storytelling ability. My father and I discussed that visit this past weekend when I was visiting from Vegas, and it was interesting to hear the details stuck stuck with him, especially since I've started writing novels of my own just recently. I was very sad to read of Bradbury's passing today.
