NgtshadeWhat is your favourate music when reading Ray Bradbury
spoken like a true woman. rather have people forget about ray than listen to classical

Mr. DarkHmmmm. Ignorant, sexist, AND uncultured. Perhaps the best background music -- in this case -- would come from the Four Seasons: "Silence is Golden".
Now that we've both had some fun, I vote we move on.

lmskipperI've always thought this place was for the open exchange of opinions and ideas. All the regulars like to converse with people from all over the world and in all age groups. To tell people to shut up and to engage in name calling is pointless as well as just plain rude. Stick to the topic of Ray.

Mr. DarkNow I'm embarrassed. I thought I was above all this. Middle age! What a bummer!

Mr. DarkI'm going out on a limb here . . . Pee Wee Herman? (Just kidding! It's an interesting quote!)
I would probably want to debate the content, as I think our hope IS to correlate all our experience into some kind of meaningful system of thought.

Nard KordellNo! Not PW
But I'll give you a clue...and the answer later this afternoon.
The quote is from a very well known fantasy writer, now deceased...

Nard KordellAlright, since there are no takers but Mr. Dark... the answer to the above post is...
H.P.Lovecraft
Here's another:
"For those who think freedom is an endless road trip, just ask a devil about the consequences of freedom."

Mr. DarkMisled my my own prejudices and narrow thinking. I see Lovecraft as a "horror" writer -- not a fantasy writer. So I was thinking in the completely wrong direction. In many classifications, of course, horror falls under fantasy, but that's a whole 'nother debate!
Isn't freedom a God-given risk? A right with a risk?
