Science Fiction Legend Ray Bradbury Dies at 91

Ray Bradbury, author of sci-fi classics such as Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man, and The Martian Chronicles, died yesterday at the age of 91 after a long illness. Bradbury’s work has been adapted into films and TV shows many times over, including episodes of The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He was a great proponent of books and libraries, believing that they allowed those who could not afford formal schooling a chance to educate themselves. His writing heavily influenced the sci-fi and fantasy genres, and he will be greatly missed.

“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”  ~Ray Bradbury

Do You Consider Yourself a True Doctor Who Fan?

Would you join Doctor Who in his TARDIS and explore the universe without a second thought?  Have you watched every episode of Doctor Who yet still want more?  If you haven’t listened to the audio versions of Doctor Who….YOU MUST! It’s a completely different experience than watching a TV episode and just as addicting.

AudioGO features all kinds of Who audios, from the original radio episodes and TV soundtracks to unabridged readings of WHO tie-in novels, original audio stories  starring current TV cast members like Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill and even missing classic television episodes now only available on audio.  Enjoy reliving all of the 11 Doctors’ adventures throughout the years.

The newest Doctor Who release is Paradise Towers.  Bonnie Langford, who played Mel in the original TV series, reads Stephen Wyatt’s complete and unabridged novelization, first published by Target Books in 1988.  Much in need of a holiday, Mel and the Doctor head for Paradise Towers: a luxury man-made planet with sparkling fountains, sunny streets, exotic flowers, and a shimmering blue swimming pool. But when the TARDIS materializes in a dark, rubbish-filled, rat-infested alley it seems that this particular Paradise has turned into Hell! Pursued by rogue cleaning machines, authoritarian caretakers, and old ladies with strange eating habits, the Doctor and Mel track down the source of the chaos to one mysterious character–the designer of Paradise Towers, the Great Architect himself…
