Thank you for the link. I've been seeing condolences for Ray Bradbury all over the twitter and linked in...

I was pretty sad when I'd heard he passed, even though I'd only read The Martian Chronicles at that point. It was enough though to cement him as one of my favorite authors and writing styles. Fahrenheit 451 cemented that.

Have you ever read Something Wicked This Way Comes? I've never looked at a carousel the same way again.

It'd be great to read around Halloween.

I read RB . . . what, 47 years ago? I remember bleakness. The Illustrated Man, etc.

I got into his juvenile fiction, his and Heinlein's. GREAT stuff there, and no sex! Asimov wrote some, too, I just recently found out. Found one by accident on the shelf. Seems he took fairytales and gave them science fiction backgrounds.

I"d not read those, but I read Asimov's Lucky Starr books. (Written under the name Paul French)

Dandelion Wine. We made it at my grandmother's. I remember collecting the flowers as a child. I did like ending of Farenheit 451, as I saw it in the movie.
