I kind of changed my answer...today in class we read another one of his stories. It was called the sound of thunder...it was rather interesting, but I still think that Something Wicked this way comes is better...so that is what I'm still sticking with.
The sound of thunder was short and I liked that, but there wasn't really much to it.

I really liked Sound of Thunder. Although Something Wicked This Way Comes was good aswell. My favorite is probably going to be SWTWC just because we discussed it a lot more. But they were both very interesting.

Well, the first book of Ray Bradbury's I read was Something Wicked This Way Comes and it was ok but the one I liked was the Illustrated Man. I only read a portion of it but I will borrow it to finish the rest because the little I read, interested me.

The book that I really love by Ray Bradbury is Fahrenheit 451. Not only because it's the only book that I read written by him, it's because of its meaning. Fahrenheit 451 shows how important the books are. How fortunate we are today because we can read anytime we want without worrying that our house might get burn if the firemen caught us reading. So Mr. Bradbury thank you for the wonderful books that you wrote.

Can I have a Four way tie? Well, My favorite stories are The Fog Horn, The Dwarf, The Beggar on O'Connell Bridge, and Sun and Shadow. I love Ray's novels, but I think that his best work is in his short stories (which make up many of his novels anyway).

I love "Dandelion Wine". My favourite English teacher loaned me a copy when I was 16 or 17...

That was nearly thirty years ago. I remember reading the last page with tears streaming down my face.

I teach English now, and I still love Bradbury— the most poetic writer of prose ever, in my view.

Cool story, Mari, and welcome to the board. Anyone who loves Ray as much as you clearly do has got to be a good teacher. You've got poetry in your soul!

Dandelion Wine and the poem in its intro. (I recitedit for a poetry competition.)

My favorite piece by RB has to be The Martian Chronicles. The mixture of ideas and the increible tempo are just captivating. I was mezmorized with the way he envisioned mans' visits to Mars; they are fictitious, yet somehow seem the only way man would act if faced with such opertunity.

Without a doubt, my favorite is Fahrenheit Four-Five-One!

You know, the movie based on the book was filmed on a modest budget in Europe. It was well-presented, I thought.

As long as this has come up again, allow me to reiterate that, whatever flaws the Truffaut F451 movie may have, the music by Bernard Herrmann is absolutely exquisite!

One of the most delightful pieces I have ever come across was the Bradbury's introduction to the biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs, reminding me of my own warm summers discovering new worlds in the cool basement -- Burroughs, Bixby. And I find more in Bradbury's philosophies that mirror mine each time I re-read and reteach F451. His is a contact I would like to make in this world.

Hi there. I haven't read any Ray Bradbury since I was about 6..precocious I know. My favourite story was Marionettes Inc.( I think that's the title anyway)
Rays books are so hard to get hold of in England. My local library doesn't stock him, not trendy enough I guess and the local bookshop can only get them for a price. Nice to see references to stories I did love though. 24 years down the line and the imagery is as strong as it was then.

I'm a fan of From the Dust Returned, I think that and Martian Chronicles are probably his most powerful works...
