Ah. I'd highly recommend October if you like Wicked...
and since you got me on a bradbury train... I pulled out my copy of "The Stories of Ray Bradbury" and just checked the wikipedia site which contains this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Bradbury
Bradbury graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1938 but did not attend college. Instead, he sold newspapers at the corner of South Norton Avenue and Olympic Boulevard. In regard to his education, Bradbury said:
"Libraries raised me. I don’t believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don’t have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn’t go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years."[8]
It was in UCLA's Powell Library, in a study room with typewriters for rent, in which Bradbury wrote his classic story of a book-burning future, "Fahrenheit 451."
