Ray Bradbury

[Selden Perren Mestral]

Have you read any Ray Bradbury books? If so, which book is your favorite?
My personal favorite is Fahrenheit 451.

[Malcolm Adeyemi]

I like the Martian Chronicles or The Illustrated Man, but F451 is fantastic too. 

[T'Lara]

Martian Chronicles is my absolute favourite. Leonard Nimoy narrated a couple of stories out of it.

Has anyone ever read Dandelion Wine?

Has anyone ever read Dandelion Wine?

Yes, I have.

I've read a lot of Bradbury. The Martian Chronicles are the best I think, but there is a reason kids are still taught F-451 in school. The number of predictions he got right about social/technological developments is almost psychic.

[Constance Lafayette]

So the aforementioned stories are all well and good (particularly F451) but, in my humble opinion, Bradbury really shone in his high concept short stories. One of his best is "Frost and Fire". It includes the life and times of a species that only lives for a few days (anything else would be spoilers).

[Angel Romero]

F451 is probably one of the best books ever written. But, honestly, my favorite from him will always be Something Wicked This Way Comes, because I absolutely adore anything to do with horror, and the paranormal.

I just put Fahrenheit 451 on hold at the library.

I'll give it a read!

Hello,

Good on you, Kirok.  If I could make a set of books mandatory reading in High School, Fahrenheit 451 would be among them.  Along with some good Orwellian 1984 and Animal Farm.

Of course, with Schools periodically banning books from their libraries, and the current state of political ideology, perhaps the irony of teaching these works to schoolchildren would be too great.

I read Animal Farm will on Summer break one year.

I think I have read 1984 too, but I make check the book out and look it over to be sure

The Martian Chronicles is the only one I know and that was the miniseries not the book(s).
