Day 10:
I read #RayBradbury's #dystopian #Fahrenheit451--the temperature at which books burn--as a high school senior. Never would I have thought that one day it could become true. Actually, we already live in the kind of #SurveillanceState envisioned, in many countries.

Great choice.
#RayBradbury is also my choice for yesterday, though I haven't managed to post it yet.
It would be nice if you were to add the threads hashtag, #BooksThatInfluencedYou, as well as an #AltText, so people can find it and everyone enjoy with us.
TIL: Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 on a coin-operated typewriter he found in the basement of UCLA's Powell Library:
“So, exhilarated, I got a bag of dimes and settled into the room, and in nine days I spent $9.80 and wrote my story; in other words, it was a dime novel,” Bradbury said.

Ray Bradbury Wrote Fahrenheit 451 on a Coin-Operated Typewriter
I'm old enough to remember coin-operated television sets in airports and bus stations. But what I found most surprising by this article in UCLA Magazine was that coin-operated typewriters existed.Neatorama
