I may be responding in the improper thread here, but I just visited philnic's website and then on to the video; Ray_Bradbuty_Story-of-a-Writer.

Thank you for pointing to this site and this video from my past. I met Ray in 1959 and I was then 17, he 39. This video was made by David L. Wolper in 1963 and it captures Ray at the time I first met him and learned to love his story telling gift.

I was raised in Santa Monica, spent much time in Venice and Ocean Park, where some of the scenes were filmed. I have been in Picwick Books in Hollywood many times. What a treasure to have this all captured for others to view and get the measure of the man. Thanks Wolper for making the film, and thanks philnic for putting it on the website. I have just returned from 1963 and there are tears in my eyes from the memories. Well done.

I missed this link. BRAVO! Wonderful! Hey this is great! Well worth watching. Thanks, PHIL (both Phils. One in England for posting it and the other Phil in California for re-directing our attention)

Just think of it as phil-anthropy! patrask, I'm glad the film works for you. However, if you can afford the DVD, you will appreciate the imagery much more than is possible through that web-based version.

Now, back to the mystery story. Nard guessed F451. Answer: WRONG!

Any more?

Must I?
OK, without checking now, I'm guessing it's "Perhaps We Are Going Away".

Yes, I'm afraid I did go away for a few days! But now I'm back. "Perhaps I am Going Away" is incorrect.

Any more guesses?

Kind of Off topic: Is anyone awared of the tribute to Ray Bradbury in the movie Cloverfield? I learned about it just today. The movie made me car sick so I am not going to view it but if anybody wishes to scan their DVD I'll give a hint as to what to look for in a day or so.
