Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, was a revelation. The language, the sheer beauty and magic that Bradbury creates with his words just left me stunned. It was like discovering a whole side of writing an amazing story, an aspect of the language which only those few, amazing writers can tap into and make it flow like an on-the-spot magically built overflowing fountain of energy. I discovered in Bradbury the passion of life that touches a few people who make out of it something that everyone else in the world can enjoy and probably treasure but most importantly, would want to remember all their lives.
There are a very few books which make its page numbers shadow on your memory. Bradbury makes you want to etch them down on your minds, sometimes in your skin.
" The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies." - Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury.
