Ray Bradbury was one of my favorite authors as a child. The depth and complexity of his stories truly enlightened me about good Sci-Fi.
Most students in the US probably read Fahrenheit 451 in high school, but I enrolled in a literature course at the Naval Academy that focused on science fiction. The Martian Chronicles was a main text for the class. IIRC, the professor had a very special connection to Bradbury, but rather than get it completely wrong, I'll just state that I think the professor (who was a USAF officer) was the curator of a collection of his works.
I might try and re-read 451. I think his words will be even more powerful and prescient now.
