Happy 92nd Birthday to my sweet Mother

April 30

 

Beautiful Night in Alabama for World Book Night

April 23rd William Shakespeare's birthday, full moon, warm spring weather, and World Book Night. My sister-in-law, who served as my driver, photographer, and cheerleader left home about 6 PM to deliver Fahrenheit 451 to the area fire departments as part of the 2013 World Book Night. Gracious reception from all the firefighters....interrupted a basketball game at one, tv viewing at another, and returning EMTs at the last. A quick trip to the Emergency room at the local hospital finished off our 20 books. We were supported in spirit by my niece who lives in another state...she wore "our shirt" to her children's soccer game.

Just Because

World Book Night.....My Title

Received word from the World Book Night folks that the book I will be giving away on April 23rd is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.  The second of my choices but still will be fun.  Right now my plans are to visit the local fire stations in the area and first offer the books to the fire fighters. 

This is a reader review from Amazon written in 2000 

 "Bradbury has given me a picture of what might be, if we are not careful. His book written nearly fifty years ago peers just twenty minutes into the future now. Technological developments he had no name for then are very real today."

How much more is this true in 2013.
