Books on Your Back- One for Ray

While I'm not a sci-fi fan, I do definitely appreciate Ray Bradbury- I loved teaching Fahrenheit 451, as well as some of his other short stories, to my students. I always bragged on his behalf about the fact that he was still alive and yet over 90. Unfortunately, as of this week, that's not true anymore... In his honor:

  1. I love Ray! He was very creative and inspiring. In the back of my copy of F451, there was an interview with him describing his creative process. Really interesting stuff.

    My favorite of his works is The Illustrated Man. I read it in middle school, and (until recently) my original copy of the book was on my classroom bookshelf for my students to read.*

  2. Ray has special meaning for me. When I first met my husband, he and I were both reading the exact same Ray Bradbury book!
