Locus, the science fiction news magazine, is holding its annual poll - and Eller and Touponce's Ray Bradbury: The Life of Fiction is one of the nominees in the non-fiction category.

Howsabout everyone here cast their vote? If you haven't read The Life of Fiction, I heartily recommend it. It's an excellent companion piece to Sam Weller's biography (which I hope we will be able to vote for in NEXT year's poll.

I haven't read it. But, I'll vote for it anyway.

I filled out mine. While I haven't read it cover to cover yet; I have read significant portions of it and it is great. I also am enjoying his earlier book: "Raby Bradbury and the Poetics of Reverie: Fantasy, Science Fiction, and the Reader."

Don't have it but have been intending to get it.

Same here. By the way, there is an earlier book with the same title that's a collection of stories in honor of Ray Bradbury.

Good news! Thanks in part to the readers of this message board, Jon Eller and William Touponce's Ray Bradbury - The Life of Fictionis now one of five finalists
for the Locus Award for best book in the non-fiction category for 2004!
