I'm Starting Fahrenheit 451!
Thoughts? I'm really excited... the topic seems fitting for today's "censored GOP" world.

3. Reading or viewing?
IMHO book was best, but flick was good too.
You could understand the movie better if you'd read the book first.

5. Excellent book.
Very fitting in today's world. Too bad Bradbury drank the Kool-Ade.

His comments are about 2/3 down the page down the page

When asked what he thought about Bush entering office, this is what Mr. Bradbury had to say: "He's wonderful. We needed him. Clinton is a shithead and we're glad to be rid of him. And I'm not talking about his sexual exploits. I think we have a chance to do something about education, very important. We should have done it years ago."

Considering I saw him speak at the opening of my alma mater's new library and even got my tattered, well-read copy of "The Martian Chronicles" autographed by him, this was quite the disappointment.

What the hell got into him? I would think he would be opposed to Bush. :shrug:
