A good friend of mine just sent me a signed copy of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, 40th anniversary edition. As he knows I collect different editions of it, one of my favorite books.
And speaking of favorites, just finished Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, again. May be my all time favorite work of fiction. What a dark, funny and well written story. I re-read it every couple of years.
Yea, I couldn't believe it either. I've since done some research and it's either his signature or an excellent forgery. Since we can't ask Mr. Abbey I guess we'll never know for sure.
The book is about a post-apocalypse city in the southwest (pretty sure it is Phoenix). It's been 20 years since I read it.
