For those of you lucky enough to live in the Chicago area, this week's Chicago Reader, which just came out, includes a fascinating story on Sam Weller and his forthcoming biography of Ray Bradbury (or, as it states on the newspaper's cover, "Ray Bradbury Anoints A Biographer"). Reading the article makes me think of a phrase the article notes is a favorite of both Ray and Sam: "I can hardly wait" for the book to be released. Congratulations, Sam!

Thanks for the heads up, Richard. I will be sure to get a copy.

Ditto:

Usually have breakfast or lunch at a small restaurant on North Wells Street in Chicago, where they have a pile 4 feet high of '''The Reader'''. They are free.

So, if anyone wants one, I can send you pages from the ...article itself ( the entire paper weighs a couple pounds. No Kidding! ) . Send me an email with your name and address if you want one...
