Speaking of Bradbury. I'm trying to locate this essay: “How Instead of Being Educated in College, I Was Graduated From Libraries.” Which was in Wilson Library Journal.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The IO9 article on his death is getting some really good comments. He sounds like he's had a lovely impact on a ton of people--not just through his writing, but also directly, in person.
I have to go look up that quote about people dying three deaths.

Hah! 10 out of 10!
That was either too easy or I "read too much", as some people say.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I got all but the Narnia. I find that I'm okay with that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I got them all too. It was pretty easy, I say. Except for a few. I was unsure about the Narnia one, but I pulled through.

I think I got 9 out of 10 (there was only 1 I wasn't sure of), but IE choked on that page, and it didn't save my answers.

Heh, whereas the Narnia one was a gimme, since they showed you a still photo of the actor who was cast as Scrubb in the movie Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
I still love that first sentence: it's rather awesome.
