Most of Bradbury is interesting- I've determined him to be one of my favorite authors- I've read Martian Chronicles, Illustrated Man, and various short stories, and all seem pretty cool. I find it cool because it's what he percieved as the future in the 40s and 50s, and here we are living in it right now. Granted, there's no rockets to Mars yet, but the general theme of Farenheit rings almost painfully true- people are buying more into mass media and standardization rather than intelligence and self awareness. *shrugs* maybe book burning isn't too far off- most people these days would rather watch "Friends" on TV than read classics like Shakespeare, Beowulf, or Catch 22.
