Bradbury, Ray Dandelion Wine
Bantam Books June 1, 1979 0-553-13155-9 / 9780553131550 Paperback Very Good
World-renowned fantasist Ray Bradbury has on several occasions stepped outs ide the arenas of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. An unabashed romant ic, his first novel in 1957 was basically a love letter to his childhood. (For those who want to undertake an even more evocative look at the dark si de of youth, five years later the author would write the chilling classic S omething Wicked This Way Comes.) Dandelion Wine takes us into the summer of 1928, and to all the wondrous and magical events in the life of a 12-year-old Midwestern boy named Douglas Spaulding. This tender, openly affectionate story of a young man's voyage of discovery is certainly more mainstream than exotic. No walking dead or spaceships to Mars here. Yet those who wish to experience the unique magic of early Bradbury as a prose stylist should find Dandelion Wine most refreshing.

Bradbury, Ray Fahrenheit 451
Ballantine Books August 12, 1987 0-345-34296-8 / 9780345342966 Paperback Very Good+
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's classic, frightening vision of the future , firemen don't put out fires--they start them in order to burn books. Brad bury's vividly painted society holds up the appearance of happiness as the highest goal--a place where trivial information is good, and knowledge and ideas are bad. Fire Captain Beatty explains it this way, "Give the people c ontests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs.... Don't g ive them slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy." Guy Montag is a book-burning fireman undergoing a crisis of faith. His wife spends all day with her television "family," imploring Montag to work hard er so that they can afford a fourth TV wall. Their dull, empty life sharply contrasts with that of his next-door neighbor Clarisse, a young girl thril led by the ideas in books, and more interested in what she can see in the w orld around her than in the mindless chatter of the tube. When Clarisse dis appears mysteriously, Montag is moved to make some changes, and starts hidi ng books in his home. Eventually, his wife turns him in, and he must answer the call to burn his secret cache of books. After fleeing to avoid arrest, Montag winds up joining an outlaw band of scholars who keep the contents o f books in their heads, waiting for the time society will once again need t he wisdom of literature. Bradbury--the author of more than 500 short stories, novels, plays, and poems, including The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man--is the winner of many awards, including the Grand Master Aw
