What are your top 10 Bradbury SciFi Shortstories? ________________<br />When you were young, did children kill each other back then? | |||

Any list of top-ten will inevitably be subject to subsequent revision. Also, the caveat that Bradbury declined to describe his work as SciFi (except F451) has to be in place. For me the top ten SciFi-like stories include: The Pedestrian Skeleton The Dwarf (not really SciFi, but I love it) All Summer in a Day The Long Rain The Blue Bottle The Veldt The Kaleidoscope The Playground A Sound of Thunder Alternates: Dark They Were, And Golden-Eyed The Rocket Man Zero Hour The Fire Balloons The Man The Messiah | ||||

Since Ray seldom distinguishes his "SciFi" stories from others, neither will I. In no particular order: The Jar The Emissary Jack-in-the-Box Kaleidoscope The Rocket Man Zero Hour All Summer in a Day The Fog Horn The Million-Year Picnic There Will Come Soft Rains | ||||

Ray may not want to distinguish between his stories that are SF and those that aren't, but I have no such qualms: Frost and Fire The Small Assassin (Bet no-one else has thought about this one. Yes, it qualifies as SF!) A Sound of Thunder There Will Come Soft Rains The Long Rain The Veldt And the Rock Cried Out Zero Hour The Earth Men The Witch Door | ||||

As a note of interest to this topic, here are the stories included in *The SFWA Grand Masters Volume 2* edited by Frederik Pohl -- The City The Million-Year Picnic All Summer in a Day There Will Come Soft Rains The Affluence of Despair I don't recognize the last title. Can somebody jog my memory? | ||||

In no particular order as I cherish all ten equally...here goes. The Fog Horn The Rocket Man Kaleidoscope Rocket Summer Ylla The Million Year Picnic The Rocket No Particular Night or Morning The Fire Balloons The Long Rain | ||||
