I took my FReeper name to honor this great writer and visionary. Guy Montag lived on Block 813 in Fahrenheit 451. Rest in Peace, old friend!


"This is Montag, Block 813!"

The last of the great four. Clark, Asimov, Heinlein and Bradbury. Thank you Ray.

Very sad. An icon of conservatism.

He was a unique talent.

What really makes me sad/sick is that not only have so few youth today ever read him, but they don’t even know how he was. Or care. Reading for pleasure, and I don’t mean a Facebook page, is almost dead. It’s dying with Gen X as so few Millenials seem to care for the idea of sitting down with a good book.

I feel sorry for them. There is no greater pleasure one can have fully clothed than a walk through a used book store and the very smell of all that ‘mind food’.
