Wond...I loved his "Fahrenheit 451" movie.<br />Wonderful portrayal of a true socialist civilization. They had book police rounding up books, anything with words on it and burned them immediately in a big bonfire<br />Also, 451 degrees, is the temperature that paper burns!!!!<br />Sometimes I think that this may be in our future of the World.mrchuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14178283210901458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-38146880842411485652012-06-06T21:26:25.891-07:002012-06-06T21:26:25.891-07:00I'm not into his genre but I know he was loved...I'm not into his genre but I know he was loved by many.<br />Ironically, I got to hear him speak at a library nearby about 20 years ago...and meet him.<br />I then wrote a poem about him for some reason.<br />I wish I could find it.<br />Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury, you had a LOT of fans.<br /><br />He was pretty nice, I have to say.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.com
