I thought I would take some time to revisit Hamlet, but upon my arrival found everyone to be asleep in their graves! Pity.

I'm currently reading Zen in the Art of writing and am blogging about it at http://richardzowie.wordpress.com. Am learning a lot and plan someday to purchase a copy.

I've previously read The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, The October Country, I Sing the Body Electric! and will be re-reading Something Wicked This Way Comes next.

Well, If I told you, that would spoil the book! In reality, I would figure it would be the five people who meant the most to you in life.

Good for you Douglas! I have one (unsigned).

What is unique about this collection is the dustjacket by Joseph Mugnaini and the two line drawings (inter-connecting montage of figures related to each story) prefacing each story collection. Also the profile shot of Mr. Bradbury on the back by Helen Milja Kovich.

I'm currently reading Look at the Birdie by Kurt Vonnegut.

P.S.

(Oh-riginal is a good word.)

I got it from The Andy Griffith Show. Who can guess which episode? William Lantry can. Are you about, Terry?

Funny! After reading the aboves with DS and L, I checked my shelves of RB's. What did I discover?
Twice-two; 2 signed-2 unsigned, all jacketed.
(I remember that I also gifted a hc copy to my father in law several years back!)

Wonderful collections.

The Stories of Ray Bradbury, Everyman's Library edition, which is a First Thus for you collectors out there..and you know who you are.

I guess the only part that I needed to read was the new introduction by Chrisopher Buckley.

Available this coming Tuesday.
