I tried to read "Fahrenheit 451" years ago when I often read a book every two days.
I couldn't get through it. I did make it through most of the stories in "The Illustrated Man" but once I read it I took it to the used book store and traded it in. I've read and enjoyed books by dozens of authors but Bradbury is entirely over rated IMHO.
It seems to me that the haters are coming out of the woodwork, they have less to say, less logic in their statements and more vitriol.
Of course they aren't going to read this, just post how Mike is a freetard, a thief and a pirate.

Everybody get an instrument and learn to play. Don't ever buy any music just make your own.
Don't ever play in public, not even at parties you might fall afoul of the music police.
I give the labels about two years before they fall apart and lose their influence and then we can get rid of some of these ridiculous laws.
Sorry AC but there is nobody that WANTS a teenager to care for. The only opportunity is to SPEND money, not make it.
It only becomes profitable when they get married and have grand children.
I wonder if I'm in trouble. I've recommended both Real Alternative and it's companion Quicktime Alternative on quite a few web sites and to customers numerous times. I know the web page is gone but I may need to look on archive.org and see if there is a copy.
It's simple. He has a contract that says he should be paid. The studio promised him to pay him for the use of his likeness and didn't do it and didn't bother to use standard accounting practices to account for that money that they did get.
It shouldn't take 30 years to get an accounting of what and where those monies were received and spent on. It should take a few months to get everything together and it should be finished.
Nothing breeds success like success but it will take some large companies getting together and sponsoring a few lawyers to concentrate on this type of practice and the selflessness of those lawyers to share their methods and results to get it going.
Unfortunately those large companies are stakeholders in the present method of defense against this type of suit and the odds are against it happening.
Oh come on I've never had Windows 7 crash to the point that it froze and had to be hard rebooted and I have managed to do that with Solaris and Linux. Haven't use OS 10 enough to have an opinion.
But police,private investigators and crooked politicians all over the world need that kind of information to uh...
protect the children from pedophiles and the rest of us from terrorists.
Put that camera phone down and step away from the police vehicle too.
I can't help thinking that this particular book needs to get in a very long line of causes of child abuse like poverty, poor education and many other societal problems.
I think if some of the other problems were addressed in some effective way, and I don't know what that might be, society as a whole could handle very well the amount of abuse that came about as a result of this book.
