I first fell in love with Ray Bradbury's books when I read Dandelion Wine. I'm anxious to reread that one, but our library doesn't have a copy. I'll probably just order it online. I'm reading Fahrenheit 451 right now. Taking my time to savor every word. We're so fortunate that Ray Bradbury had a good long life and wrote so many incredible books for us all to enjoy.Teri Heyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734384917646492938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565945884554720094.post-32676915267740706582012-06-15T01:56:18.072-05:002012-06-15T01:56:18.072-05:00Ray Bradbury woke me up to words.

Some of those stories haunt me still, like the one about the house that robotically continues to clean, look after, cook for and entertain occupants who have been vaporised by a nuclear attack... as our environment becomes increasingly digitized and mechanized this seems more and more a possibility. When did Ray Bradbury come into my life? At about age 15 when I found "The Martian Chronicles" and "The Golden Apples Of The Sun" at our local library. I read "Fahrenheit 451" too at about that time. Then last year on a visit to South Africa where I come from, at age 63, I found and devoured one of his latest novels, "Now And Forever". I had lived my whole life and the man was still writing, still creating... What an inspiration to all of us.John Raubenheimernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565945884554720094.post-23482292508208135042012-06-14T12:25:04.902-05:002012-06-14T12:25:04.902-05:00M.L., thank you for your nice words.

I posted a tribute to him as well on my blog. It's no where near as well written, and wonderfully touching as yours however. He would have been an amazing man to meet.M.L.
