I loved both, 451 and 1984 and have reread them over the years. Now that Ray is no longer with us, I think I’ll read it again.

You and millions of others. Fahrenheit 451 wasn’t just science fiction, it was a great political cautionary tale — much more accessible than Orwell’s 1984 and thus more popular with high schoolers (of which I was one).

Just last week the New Yorker published a short story by him. I liked it and now he is dead.

Not on topic, but seeing how this is “Literary Wednesday” I thought this post would be appropriate: I just heard that Ray Bradbury died last night in California. His Fahrenheit 451 was my introduction to the science fiction genre, and I will forever love him for that!
