This is the introduction to Ray Bradbury and Fahrenheit 451. Fahrenheit 451 is the first Quake Book of three. It is a re-read, however I’ve including episodes like this where I will discuss the book and it’s author, Ray Bradbury.
I will begin reading this book next episode.
I will be keeping the original readings available until I finish the book, then the original will be available by subscription only on Patreon.

Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnet
Chapter 4; this may over lap the last episode. The sound is also crap. Who wants to buy me a MacBook Pro or even just a mic and a tablet…kidding…I was the Pro versions.
SO ALL OF THIS HAPPENED…more or less
Take a few Tralformdoriamans. A couple of thought police, big brother and some memory holes. War is peace. and all of those things, add a beloved patriarch, Atticus Finch and a man known as Sherlock, who solves all the crimes. It's a bunch of guys that beat the hell out each other, because Destruction is Freedom and God is dead. And The First Rule is...Shhhhhh, we can't talk about it...
Now set it all on fire.
Let it burn.
All of it
Because Ignorance is Strength
[Redacted] my podcast. I read banned books.
