Ray Bradbury, who authored books in genres like science fiction, fantasy and horror, including Fahrenheight 451, turned 91 on Aug. 22 The plot is set at a future time when lawlessness is prevailing in American streets.

Books are banned, and anyone caught reading or possessing one is confined to a mental hospital.
Bradbury was "raised in libraries," aspired to be a magician and a writer, and yes, he made his dream come true. He became both. Preaching Christ Crucified ~ Teaching the Doctrines of Grace
