In fact I don't think I liked it as much as some of Bradbury's more science-fictiony things. But maybe as an adult my perspective would be different. I should try it again.<br /><br />I'm sure this is a silly question and you've already thought this out, but is there an alternative route to the freeway that might move more quickly? Are the surface streets as badly gridlocked?Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-85104031646877248482014-11-22T14:06:13.628-08:002014-11-22T14:06:13.628-08:00I live for the library and books on tape for my co...I live for the library and books on tape for my commute.

You tell this simple little story of driving in LA traffic, and I can feel the congestion all around you and your expansion as you listen. <br /><br />I've been a member of audible.com for years, and I listen when I doing various things around the house. Now I'm going to download Fahrenheit 451 and pretend I'm "inching south on the Ventura Freeway."

All it ever takes, or so I believe, is one thing, one delicious or beautiful or Birkenstock-knocking thing. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-75178334084036659222014-11-21T16:03:38.708-08:002014-11-21T16:03:38.708-08:00Audio books make my life worth living.
