Since I've read Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, I thought that this book might be a good read as well.
This book has 306 pages, so I should be done with it by the last week of April.
It's a horror book, I'll also be blogging on whether or not it's "bone-chilling" or not.
"A land of mists and shadows and strange shapes, of twilight terrors and midnight madness..."
Introduction
October Country... that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on empty walks sound like rain...

Yeah, all Ray Bradbury books are creepy sci fi stuff.
I don't personally like this books, because they don't make sense, but I like the way he words his thoughts and how they are expressed. It makes me feel as if I'm really there so its nice. :D
Wow... I read "Fahrenheit 451" too! That was a pretty good book. How did you lose your "Go Ask Alice" book? That's kind of hard to lose since don't you need it every single day? But then again... I shouldn't be talking since I think I left my "Joy Luck Club" book in the spanish room somewhere... so good luck to both of us in finding our books! xDD
In English last year my class had to do a whole topic on Bradbury. We analyzed the type of words he used and even watched films of his short, "scary" stories. Bradbury has a mind that is so hard to describe. It's so unpredictable. Yeh, that's the word.
