You're not a Bradbury fan?

I liked Fahrenheit 451, but I am no longer anywhere near as much in agreement with its thesis that while books are difficult, challenging things that make you think, visual media are just pap for the sheeple.

*nods* Good point. I've never read it, isn't that pathetic? I wonder if he wrote it before or after he had some experiences in Hollywood; apparently he wrote a fairly uncomplimentary, thinly-veiled-autobio novel about his experiences there, so...yeah.

No, that's the last volume of Varley's Gaia trilogy.
