Ray Bradbury: Something Centenary This Way Comes

Danny Tyree on

What all can Bradbury fans (and potential fans) do to mark the milestone birthday?

Certainly, the various fan pages on social media can point you to books (in numerous genres), memorabilia and events.

Bradbury disciplined himself to write something every single day. It was good advice not just for professional writers but for ordinary folks as well. Write “thank you” cards and “I heard you’re under the weather cards. Write recipes. Write brainstormed ideas that just might come to fruition someday. Write recollections of family anecdotes. Again, pay it forward.

To the extent that COVID-19 allows, utilize and support your local public library. Libraries have had few better friends than Ray “Libraries raised me” Bradbury.

Civic projects abound, but a library is a priceless starting point for finding the things that really matter to you.

 

“Burning passions, not burning books.” Bradbury could doubtless say it better, but I’m sure he would approve of the sentiment.
