For a writer who gets caught up in the process, renting by the half hour sounds like it would be a bit nervous-making. A dime was not a lot of money then, but I'm sure he outspent his day's expectations more than once.<br /><br />The reasons given for banning this book seem quite weak, especially since all of them except the smoking could be found in the Bible. I expect that the book's challenge to censorship (Bradbury's protestations notwithstanding) was a more important cause.James Hayes-Bohananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908738448836082865noreply@blogger.com
