Who Wrote Fahrenheit 451?
If you said Ray Bradbury, as Niko did when I asked her, you're right. Dave is wrong. So there.
Earlier today Dave was explaining to Angelina why the little satay sticks did not burn in the oven and mentioned Fahrenheit 451, the book and movie by Kurt Vonnegut. Almost instinctively, I said "It was Bradbury." Dave insisted it was Vonnegut and he knew because sci-fi is his thing. Uh-huh. I've read Fahrenheit 451 and lots of other Bradbury, but I haven't read any Vonnegut. Anyway, I gave up but asked Niko as soon as I got home. I borrowed a Bradbury book of hers with a nice pic of the Fahrenheit 451 cover to show Dave tomorrow. Not to gloat (well, maybe a little), just to say "see, I know what I'm talking about." I don't usually open my mouth unless I'm sure of my facts, although as you see by some of these posts I do spell names incorrectly from time to time.
