Just finished Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" (1953),
which is eerily relevant to our times.

(I have a vague memory of having read it before, but that was probably in my teens - and also quite probably in Swedish, this time I read it in English - and enough time has past since, that I'd forgotten how it ended.)

Well worth reading. Your local library probably has a copy.

Hey everybody, in case you missed it, today: August 4, 2026 is the exact day Ray #Bradbury picked to end the world, 76 years ago.

"There Will Come Soft Rains" 's title was a nod to Sara #Teasdale's "There Will Come Soft Rains," written in 1918 in reflection of the losses of the First World War and the influenza pandemic, and premised that the natural world would barely register humanity's disappearance.

Here's a pdf link, in case you'd like to reread it. It, in my opinion, is among the best short stories every written. (Granted, I'm a Bradbury fan girl.)
