Your Favorite Ray Bradbury Story?

Question

My favorite novel is "Something Wicked..." but there are too many fantastic stories for me to choose just one! I must say the most influential story of his was "The Small Assassin"...it definitely made me think twoce about having kids!

Answer 1

I personally like Farenheit 451, since I am a librarian. I was lucky enough to have met Ray Bradbury several times. At WorldCon in Atlanta, he saw me with my blowup Stegasaurus. He thought it was for him. I am still kicking myself for not giving it to him and asking for all my books to be autographed.

Answer 2

My personal Ray Bradbury story is "Fahrenheit 451". When I was 11, my somewhat older brother handed me a copy of this great novel and said if I read it he would do my chores for a week ... so I put down the Nancy Drew and opened Ray Bradbury. Needless to say my brother didn't uphold his side of the bargain, but he gave me something greater - an introduction to science fiction novels. (and to think, last year I found out my dear brother has never actually read "Fahrenheit 451" himself! Apparently he just wanted to see if I would read a book he had told me to. Doesn't know what he is missing does he?)

Also love "I Sing the Body Electric" ... Twilight Zone didn't do too bad of a job making it into an episode either.

Answer 3

The Martian Chronicles, but I do love Something Wicked This Way Comes

Answer 4

I like the book, "I Sing The Body Electric", with all of it's short stories.

Answer 5

I loved "From the Dust Returned." It's definately a unique novel.

Answer 6

Farenheit 451, which is the temp at which books are supposed to burn. I am also a librarian.
