TIL: Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 on a coin-operated typewriter he found in the basement of UCLA's Powell Library:
“So, exhilarated, I got a bag of dimes and settled into the room, and in nine days I spent $9.80 and wrote my story; in other words, it was a dime novel,” Bradbury said.
#RayBradbury. 20 short stories. At least 14 will stay with me for decades. Sublime. I forced myself to pace them out and didn't gobble them up in one night. Gorgeous texture to his tone, like some one talking to you on an old landline phone while eating caramel chocolates.
