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.
Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?
'Beneath You'
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.
