I'm going to spend this evening sitting on the porch re-reading The Martian Chronicles while drinking several beers.

I wasn't planning on a drink tonight but now I'll be having one.

"a" drink?

Ray Bradbury is the first writer I remember reading, and reading ALL of his books.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've only ever read Fahrenheit 451 (yes, it was required, but yes, I loved it), but The Martian Chronicles just made it to the list. It'll be months before I get to it but it's there. What else is essential?

Also, Paul your thread title threw me for a second even though I had just heard about his death on the radio a few minutes before reading it. I thought it would make a humorous song title. And then I remembered that there is already a song by that title. Basically, I like songs with the word 'fuck' in the title.

Something Wicked This Way Comes, miles.

Man, I'm having a rough night. At first I was like, "wait what? What'd I do to deserve that?"

I've only read Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, and Dandelion Wine. All three of those are exquisite reads. I make time to read more Bradbury.

My favorite was definitely Dandelion Wine.
