The greatest literary mind of our time. I have gotten to meet him on several occassions and he is an incredibly captivating individual. He tells the best stories. The night I first met him, he told this story that was so good, my mom believe it was completely true, despite being historically impossible given when Ray was born. :) Anyway, here is a place to discuss the man and his amazing works.

I got to meet Ray again tonight. I've met him so many times now I've lost count. This night was particularly special, as it was the first time I ever have gotten to meet him by myself. What I mean is no one went with me to see him. There were plenty of other people there, but I still felt like the only person in the room. :D I finally got to ask him this question I have wanted to ask him for years, but never got around to. Funny thing is, he answered it exactly how I thought he would. Perhaps I've been hanging around this guy too long? :razz: Anyway, it was an incredible night, he signed my new copy of Dandelion Wine and I got to chat with him briefly about his latest play. I also got another picture taken with him, thanks to my wonderful mother driving over a camera at the last minute. (God bless her!!) I am so lucky to live here in Los Angeles and get to meet the man I consider to be my idol so often that I lose count.

WTF!? That is the name of my old headmaster! And believe you me, from his letters i can definitively say he was NOT a literary genius.

Don't be a tease, JJ. Post those pics! :D

They are good old fashioned pictures taken on film. I will have to wait for them to developed before I can scan and post them. But as soon as they are I will put them up!

Fahrenheit 451 was grrrrrrrrreat, although I don't usually like Science-Fiction (even though this was only semi-Science Fiction). I started reading Something Wicked Comes this Way, but ADD kicked in, I got confused, so I stopped. But, yeah.

I've been in a thread bumping mood lately, haha
I am ALMOST done reading Something Wicked This Way Comes! Wow it took for like ever lol I only have like four more chapters then I am done! And I like NEVER get through an entire book unless we're reading it as a class. Man this book was definitely challenging to read tho! I gotta do a book review on it for English when we go back on Monday.
The next book of his I am going to read is The Vintage.

OMG you guys- The Vintage is like the best book! I've only read a few chapters so far, but I got soo into it when I was reading it. You guys should check it out.
And I might get it signed by Ray Bradbury! My friend said that she might go to a UCLA book convention thing & she said if she goes she's gonna get to meet him, & said she'll get an autograph for me! yay!
This will be my 2nd autograph from him, haha the first was way back in 7th grade when I met him.

I read that he will not be signing this year. I'm going to be going with my girlfriend and when I looked up the information on the LA Times website it had a special note saying that he would not be signing.
-
What!? How could he not be signing!?
What is he gonna do? Pictures? or just talk to people?
-
Ooooh looks like i'll be hitting up the library :razz:

Yeah, looks like he'll be talking in Royce Hall and that's it. I don't know how much more signings and things he will be doing. I am so lucky I went and saw him in December. *Reminds self that he needs to get those pictures developed.*
-
The thing my friend is going to is a UCLA book convention thing... so is that where Royce Hall is at? Sorry I'm a little confused, lol but yeah I was gonna bring the book The Halloween Tree tomorrow for my friend to have him sign just in case.
