I greatly enjoyed reading the review of BECOMING RAY BRADBURY provided by John via the link in his posting above, and I laughed when I read Ray's comments about Saul Bellow. Don't tell Ray, but Bellow's THE ADVENTURES OF AUGIE MARCH has been chosen this year's "One Book, One City" selection by the Chicago Public Library. (Now personally, I would have chosen SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES...)

Excellent find, Linnl. I didn't know about VISUAL RADIO, but now I've found the website I see that they have some fascinating guests.

For a limited time, you can get an e-book version of BECOMING RAY BRADBURY for a mere $2.99!

Kobo, Nook and Kindle versions are available. Links are here, via the publisher's web page:

I believe this offer is good till the end of the month. If you don't own an e-reader of any kind, bear in mind that you can get the free Kindle Reader software from Amazon, which allows you to read Kindle books on your computer (or tablet, or phone).

Why does David Lynch come to mind when I read this information?

Because, like Ray Bradbury, you think we have too many internets?
