I loved Bradbury and teach F451 most years that I have a group who seems to be ready for heady sci-if. Heady here meaning that it is based more around concepts of internal conflict rather than big action pieces.

There is a lot of exposition here (I’m looking at you Captain Beatty) but it reads with such an interesting depth that I love it.

There is a series of lines from Granger in part 3 talking about his grandfather that expresses just perfectly the affect of death on a someone who is close you.

If you do like Bradbury, don’t stop here. His short story catalogue is fantastic. I’m a big fan of “The Veldt” but the one that I really found on a second read (the Martian Chronicles is great, but the story never really remained with me after the first read - I came upon it individually later) is “There Will Come Soft Rains”.
