“It was a pleasure to burn.”

 I know someone here is reading.  There is a quote posted way high up in the hall that says, “It was a pleasure to burn.” #Bradbury

It seems today we’ve lost the ambition to even bother with the burning.  We just ignore the books.  What power can they have over the minds of young people who are psychologically attached to the little computers in their pockets?

I asked a student one time what was something she liked or didn’t like about her English class last year.  She said she had a to read a book about “Firemen who didn’t like to read” and that it didn’t make any sense.

Indeed, if that’s what she thought the book was about- I’m sure it didn’t make any sense at all.  

Maybe I should make a sampler of this quote.
