omg ur so edgy

[(Anonymous)]

Pearls before swine...

[(Anonymous)]

so have you actually read any of his writing? anything other than Fahrenheit 451? because the man could paint a word picture like no other.

[dethtoll]

my, but you're just crushingly dull

[(Anonymous)]

There's no need to be a dick about the guy's death just because other people like him a lot and you only like him a bit

I mean I'm not saying that I don't understand the impulse, but

[thezmage]

Who is this guy?

[(Anonymous)]

ray bradbury.

[forgottenjester]

I just realized I have never seen Ray Bradbury's face before this secret.

Are you serious? You do realize your opinion =/= all of society's right? Like, I hate EVERYTHING about Catcher in the Rye but I can still recognize how influential a text it is to other people.

But more than that holy shit the guy died. It's fine to say you had no personal investment because you didn't know him but the man was more than his writing. He was a person. At least be respectful for that. Maybe I'm just reading too much into "I don't give a fuck" because of the cursing though. It's possible.

Either way, you don't like the man's writing. Woopty-doo for you?

[kallanda_lee]

I think Fahrenheit 451 is sort of overrated, but you know, that happens. Authors get glorified for things they aren't once the get larger than life. But you know, in the end, I think the guy had an amazing mind, judging from his writing. And that, I always consider a great loss for humanity.

He was obsessed with Mars, not the apocalypse

[greenvelvetcake]

Mind you don't cut yourself on that edge, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Rude.

[angrymermaids]

Someone's still pissed about having to take high school English.

You do realize Fahrenheit 451 has nothing with the apocalypse and has everything to do with how much Ray Bradbury hates being politically correct? If you are going to bash Bradbury, bash him for being sexist and racist. When somebody asked if he could release a reedit of a prior book, he whined. A better person would explain they could re-release the book with a new author's note explaining that they wrote that book in a time when they thought differently and then would write books that fit their new mindset. But Bradbury didn't. And that's what makes him a bad person. Not being obsessed with the apocalypse.

TLDR: Read Carl Sagan.

This man was pretty much my introduction to science fiction, though I didn't read Farenheit 451 until last year during Banned Books Week.

Dandelion Wine remains one of my favorite novels to this day.

[tabaqui]

*shrug*
To each his own. Dandelion Wine is one of my top five all-time, life-time favorite books, and always will be.

You're are being a bit of an ass, though.

[ariakas]

There are people who think Ray Bradbury is the writer of any generation?

...Huh. Man this world sure takes all kinds.

[skeletal_history]

Look at how wrong you are!

[(Anonymous)]

damn nerds get mad when their sacred cow is criticized

but you're so much better than the rabid fangirls!

[(Anonymous)]

Psh, he didn't die. Mr. Electrico said he'd live forever.

LIVE FOREVER!

I recently re-read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time in years, and while I still get why it's considered a classic, it's a lot more anvilicious than I remember it being (granted I haven't read it since I was 14 or so), and I can definitely see the argument now that the book's about how TV makes people stupid instead of censorship (my interpretation is still "it's a book, it's about whatever the heck you got out of it").

Though if that's the only work of his that you've read, I feel sorry for you. Go find a copy of The Martian Chronicles, the man was utterly fascinated with space and did his best work writing about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Having read the comments, I`m now so happy I didn`t have to read Bradbury in school. It was actually half-banned in my country at the time I first read Martian Chronicles. I didn`t get to read Farenheit until much later, when I learned English and could read it in original. It was so... apt at the time, you know..
I kind of get that misdirected hate at the author you are forced to read and dont understand a word of because you never had the experiences similar to what author writes. It happens a lot to the writers included in school reading :)

[(Anonymous)]

I remember seeing "Something Wicked This Way Comes" as a child and it scared the heck out of me. I remember then wanting to read the book; not sure why but I felt better afterwards because I considered reading the book on 'my terms.' I could stop, start, take breaks, etc...as a child I liked that.

Sorry random childhood memory I didn't think about until this secret.

[(Anonymous)]

He influenced so many other writers of the generation that in a way he IS the writer of the generation. I started reading him years and years ago completely of my own volition after seeing Stephen King talk about his work in an author's note. Since then, I can't help running into references to Bradbury in other people's writing.

????? ???

[(Anonymous)]

He wrote a ton of stuff and a lot of it didn't have to do with the apocalypse. It's a shame to hate any author, especially one who worked so hard (literally writing, submitting, and getting rejected into his 80s) and brought joy to millions of readers. :/

I've had pet-hate writers too, but it's a waste of your time, frankly. Says more about you than him to post this secret, OP. :(
