Extraordinary coincidence – I’ve just begun Fahrenheit 451! :)

Amazing Laura! Have you read it before?

No, this will be the first time. There are so many great books out there, it’s taking me a while to get through them. 😊

Ray Bradbury is endlessly quotable. I’ve read The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 but I’ve also quoted him on many occasions. A wise man. (K)

You’re right, Bradbury has so much to quote. I don’t dream of going to Mars so I will read about it in the news! 🙂
