I adored "August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains" and then later, Fahrenheit 451. And then later later, From the Dust Returned.

annie...Sandy - It's a must for Bradbury fans! <br /><br />annieb - That's one of my absolute favorites. I love The Martian Chronicles and The October Country and The Illustrated Man collections as well. He had an incredible style of writing. <br /><br />Jeanne - I can't wait to see that too! I'll let you know when it's complete. <br /><br />bibliophilica - I'm so glad you told me about it! Jon was really great. I'm still jealous you get to attend that bookclub! <br /><br />epilogging - I know! Everytime I think I have a handle on his complete works I come across a new collection!<br /><br />Jillian - I was so surprised to find out it was in Indy!

Nuts.

I'm so glad to hear that you had ...Hi Melissa,<br /><br />I'm so glad to hear that you had a chance to check out the Center. Jon is also a frequent attendee at the Vonnegut Library Book Club meetings, and I've learned a lot from him about Bradbury - and other writers too. (I've found it's really hard to stump him with those, "Have you ever read..." questions) <br /><br />He really does seem to be a tireless promoter/preserver/collector of all things Bradbury. He gave a great presentation at the Irvington Branch of the MCPL last spring that I attended.<br /><br />Like you, I didn't know until relatively recently that he wrote the screenplay for the "Gregory Peck Version" of Moby Dick. Bradbury has become more of a favorite of mine in the past couple years.<br /><br />-JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-12032775708346408012013-12-03T08:49:31.665-05:002013-12-03T08:49:31.665-05:00I'll keep this in mind for some future visit, ...I'll keep this in mind for some future visit, because I want to see the re-created home office!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-49052850558059033252013-12-03T08:19:45.039-05:002013-12-03T08:19:45.039-05:00I just read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time last...I just read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time last year and found it incredibly moving. It was a perfect example of "why hadn't I read it before." I have read several Ray Bradbury books and always meant to read F 451. Too many books, too little time. He was an amazing writer and I plan to read and reread more of his work.anniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728598854622972187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-69089765704693017152013-12-03T06:40:53.965-05:002013-12-03T06:40:53.965-05:00Hmmm.
