A computer does not smell ... if a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better… And it stays with you forever. But the computer doesn’t do that for you. I’m sorry.

October Country

...that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noon go quickly, ducks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain...

Ray Bradbury

Good Omens / Something Wicked

HOW THE FUCK did I JUST NOW realize this? For the last 30 years my two fave novels have been Good Omens + Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. Both feature protagonists that are Blond and "Good" (Aziraphale and Will Halloway) and Dark and "Bad" (Crowley and Jim Nightshade). Has anyone read both books & want to discuss? Reply or PM.

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.

- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Happy Birthday, Ray Bradbury!

August 22, 1920

“I’ll make a sound that’s so alone that no one can miss it, that whoever hears it will weep in their souls, and hearths will seem warmer, and being inside will seem better to all who hear it in the distant towns.”

The Fog Horn, Ray Bradbury

"Марсианские хроники". Рей Бредбери

Это сборник рассказов, которые объединены между собой одной темой. Люди прилетают на Марс. Что из этого произойдет? Есть ли на Марсе жизнь? Может ли человек остаться жить здесь? Бредбери отвечал на эти вопросы, одновременно поднимая одну очень важную тему - "правильный ли путь развития выбран людьми?".

А теперь расскажу о своем любимом рассказе из этого сборника. Осторожнее, могут быть спойлеры.

В этой главе человек по имени Бенджамин сажает деревья, чтобы наполнить разряженную марсианскую атмосферу кислородом. Он идет и сажает... не оглядываясь назад. Боится, что в сухой почве Марса растения не прорастут. Но однажды, после дождя, он все-таки решается повернуть голову назад. И тут у меня замирает сердце... Я снова восхищена описаниями Бредбери.

"Насколько хватало глаз, к небу поднимались деревья. Не одно, не два, не десяток, а все те тысячи, что он посадил, семенами или саженцами. И не мелочь какая-нибудь, нет, не поросль, не хрупкие деревца, а мощные стволы, могучие деревья высотой с дом, зеленые-зеленые, огромные, округлые, пышные деревья с отливающей серебром листвой, шелестящие на ветру, длинные ряды деревьев на склонах холмов, лимонные деревья и липы, секвойи и мимозы, дубы и вязы, осины, вишни, клены, ясени, яблони, апельсиновые деревья, эвкалипты – подстегнутые буйным дождем, вскормленные чужой волшебной почвой. На его глазах продолжали тянуться вверх новые ветви, лопались новые почки".

Красиво, правда? 💚
