lovely --- reminds me much of Francie in "Tree Grows in Brooklyn" where the library was her "ticket" out of the small-thinkin' pettiness that plagued so many around her an' the drudge of poverty (even when she came home ta the cold water flat--because that book with 'er meant escape!) Matilda too... One of the daughters (fergit which one) in the All of a Kind Family series also... All these young girls spoke ta me so I wuz never ashamed at bein' a bookworm. All the treasured books an' the free libraries were gold--that no amount of money could replace... Today's libraries are a joke--some have fawncy "social rooms" or "game rooms" takin' place of the books AN' they git ridda the good stuff (given away! classic novels, hardbacks!) an' whuts left on their rainbow lgbtq__! shelves for kids an' teens is near-unspeakable, sure ain't "literature!" (an' oh, graphic novels are front n' center on the dis-splays--not that I'm all-against 'em, but I'm not so sure comics need ta be feature presentations)...
Grateful ta learn this--I had no idea the articulate wordsmith Bradbury never made it ta college--but clearly (via Fahrenheit 451) books were very dear ta him indeed.
A truer statement couldn't'a been said:
"Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings."
Heinrich Heine
(who wuz, fwiw, a jew who converted ta christianity after seein' the writin' on the wall... as many like him did before an' after---ta save their proverbial... "heinies!")
I do not think I have read any of his books..... but if I would choose one, what should that be? Any suggestions? I can handle most fiction but just not too violent and bloody would be better.
This that you shared above, is really excellent. My father was the same. He would go to the library and read all of the books, sometimes he would go to the library and copy information from books, maps and just about any information that intrigued him. He was born in 1923 and grew up in the Netherlands.
My daddy looked a lot like Ray Bradbury too, incredible
I have never read any of his books (not a big fan of sci-fi. One year I came across a speech (YouTube) he spoke about writer’s block. I thoroughly enjoyed his no nonsense approach. He said if you have writer’s block, you’re not writing about what interest you. My father took the TV away from us in high school. Best thing he ever did! No more Charlie’s Angels and Fantasy Island. Lol. Thank you Karen. I’ll be looking him up again. That photo is adorable!

Listening to Dandelion Wine past few weeks!
What a great gift he had and shared! His understanding of the profound dimensions of time alone would be cause for celebration.
