Ray Bradbury, science fiction writer, passes

In the Yahoo article on the death of Ray Bradbury, we find this paragraph:

He attributed his success as a writer to never having gone to college–instead, he read and wrote voraciously. “When I graduated from high school in 1938, I began going to the library three nights a week,” he said in an interview with The Paris Review. “I did this every week for almost ten years and finally, in 1947, around the time I got married, I figured I was done. So I graduated from the library when I was twenty-seven. I discovered that the library is the real school.”

Amazing!

Read the Yahoo article for yourself.  Additionally, you may want to see the MVCC library holdings on all things Bradbury.

Librarian by profession; otherwise, a wonderful human being.
