Braling IIFavorite stories by Ray Bradbury?
Zounds! Egad, even!
All I can say is, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be - for loan oft loses both itself and friend!"
(This applies to Bradbury books in particular, forsooth!)

biplane1Sadly, Braling II, owing to what you have just said I remember 39 years ago when Ray gave me three paperback books when I was sitting in his living room, only years later to lend two of them out never to see them again. Alas!

fanboyI haven't yet read all Ray's stories, but out of the ones I've read, (it's hard to pick) I really liked the one about the unterderseaboat captain.
I also thought the one about his dad with Alzheimer's was very touching, my Gram had that too, so I could really relate.

James M HarrisLike the genius himself says, "I have no favourites."
I also find it hard to choose. But if a gun were held to my head, and I had to select a few, they would be:
The Watchers
By the Numbers!
The Rocket
The Wind
