Oh, isn't he the sweetest thing or what. Look at his glasses. Look at his cat! Just to prove his incredible character, he once said, "Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things." This awesome awesome guy's name is Ray Bradbury. I read one of his books called Fahrenheit 351, which was a very intriguing book that made you think the whole time and truly appreciate the books' values and how it shapes the society's minds. I didn't know until today that he was a sci-fi writer... Interesting. I should've figured that out, as the two of the books that I've read (or going to read) are all sci-fi. Anyways, he apparently passed away two years ago at the age of 91. Considering that most brilliant people die when they're like in their 20s or 30s, he has lived a very long life. May you rest in peace... So about the book. From what I understand, I think it's a collection of many many short stories about the future. Though I am not a HUGE sci-fi fan, I can trust Ray Bradbury to keep me hooked until the end. I'm interested to see if there are going to be big thoughtful questions throughout the book. Wish me luck!
