A discussion with Ray Bradbury concerning the novel Fahrenheit 451. François Truffaut Director: François Truffaut Editor: David Palmer Director of Photography: Mike Osmond
my mom met him at a lecture in the 80s he did at the san juan capistrano library. i was at school that day, but i wouldn't have appreciated it then. i kick myself now for not ditching school to meet him
I just finished this book and it was so wonderfully written. Ray Bradbury has such a way with words, he puts words together and they flow so beautifully. He was a phenomenal author!
This book has forever changed my view on society and the nature of humanity. Thank you to Bradbury for writing a book with so much heart and soul. I am truly moved.
The one book from when I was a kid in High School, Oh around 20 or so years ago that was when I first read Fahrenheit 451. That was the one first book that sent me down the paths of reading all of the Bradbury books I could find at the library and then on to other wonderful authors. If only the skill and passion of reading would catch flame among the masses again. Steer them from the idiot box aka television minds would grow than shrink down the hole Hollywood provides.
He was a great observer of people and of human nature. My favorite line of his is, "People ask me to predict the future when all I want to do is prevent it".
So that’s where the term dime novel comes from.... Crazy. I love him telling the story. “I took a bag of dimes in and rented the type writer for 9 days.”
@@stuartcarr3023 You can't do that but you can go to the library and use the computers to write for free, no dimes required. At least in Europe, idk about the US.
It’s a novel, bought in paper form from most Countries now on the planet translated into all known languages, and by special permission upon his death, and agreement with his publishers forever... forever on electronic e-book form from His Publishers and always available as an electronic book - the first of it’s kind agreement in publishing Ever - and upon Ray Bradbury’s specifically noted terms, there must always be a Fahrenheit 451 available Forever in the nearest Library in Paper Back or Hard Cover form, on Paper .
I don't think so. I really like the book. We had to read a pile of shit in school, but Fahrenheit 451 was the only one I liked; because of the metaphors.
yes?no?maybe so? r we done so u can stop argueing a pointless arguement?(and by the way my friend wrote that not me, but i didnt care so i let him post it)
My teacher pissed off because no one checked out a book through out the whole year out of his class and did a book talk, but if u had him u would hate books too
I am 40% through F451, and strange enough, I am not liking it much. The prose is a bit boring, and the development of both the plot and the characters is awfully slow.
