Hmmm, the sentiment is good but his writing seems to have lost its edge o_O
I bought a copy of Fahrenheit 451 from a used bookstore. It was in poor condition so I got it at a discount. I was surprised to find that this shabby little volume was signed by Bradbury himself - dedication and all! The bookstore bought it back from me at 50 times what I had paid for it originally. I wish I had kept it. Strangely appropriate, given the premise of 451′s story…
I am so in love with this letter…
