I've not read Stephen King's 1,200 page (for him a novella) newest book, Under the Dome. Who has and can tell me on which page Ray and A Medicine for Melancholy is mentioned? John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | |||

jkt, you sound like a schoolkid who has an assignment to complete, but can't be bothered to do the reading  (At times like this, what you need is...an e-book with a "search" facility!) - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

I just gave myself an idea: Amazon's "search inside this book" feature...which gave me the following result. [[[WARNING: bad language coming up. Look away if you are easily offended.]]] Top of p671: "That's right." Chef stood up. "It's a medicine for melancholy. That's from Ray Bradbury. You ever read Ray Bradbury?" "No." "He's a fucking head. He knew. He wrote the motherfucking book, say hallelujah. Come with me. I'm going to change your life." This is from the 2009 Scribner hardcover edition. - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

So where the fuck is the bad language? Sorry, LDS - I gotta stop that. I have this short volume. It's still in my queue. I'm like Burgess Meredith on The Twilight Zone - I have stacks of "to-be-read" lying about. "Live Forever!" | ||||

Or I was in Las Vegas over the weekend and was too burned out to think for myself. For those of you across the pond Las Vegas is a less classy version of Monte Carlo. ;-] John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

I don't drink. I find gambling in a casino boring. Las Vegas is the only place left in America where smokers are allowed so I stay out of most public places. Why the heck was I there? John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

The showgirls? Or perhaps you were looking for a good car wash. "Live Forever!" | ||||

Wayne Newton? You forgot to take a left turn at Albuquerque? - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

I used to date a showgirl, thirty years ago. I'm spoiled when it comes to the "dancers." Actually, I did find a very good car wash, in Henderson, on Sunset. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

Wayne had the weekend off, it was nothing but cowboy singers. I have a Marvin the Martian decal on the car, not Bugs Bunny. ;-] Still waiting for the MONTAG plates for the car. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||
