Hey, we have a "poll" facility on this new board, but as far as I can see no one has used it yet. So...<BR><BR>Please vote for your favourite Bradbury novel. (Please note that the automated poll only allows FIVE options to be listed, so I have not been able to include all of Ray's novels.)The Martian ChroniclesFahrenheit 451Dandelion WineSomething Wicked This Way ComesDeath is a Lonely Business (and its sequels)
Tough vote, as I have a kind of top three: F451, Something Wicked, and Martian Chronicles. There are things I like about each one, so the best/favorite question is hard to answer, as it doesn't factor in the variable preferences.

Me too.
If I was stranded on a desert island and could have only one book it would have to be "SOMETHING WICKED" (if not HOW TO BUILD A RAFT FROM SAND, PALM TREES, AND SEA WATER by Bill Draft) because I could remember each character's lines and perform a one-man/woman-act for the very critical, dissapproving, and hard to please Pelicans. If they liked the performance they would toss fish at me as I took my bows. And that's how I'd survive being on a desert island, if I didn't have that Draft book, and I'd owe it all to Ray Bradbury. What a guy. What a book.
I could also draw pictures in the sand for fish, but I'm no Picasso.This message has been edited. Last edited by: grasstains,

We read Something Wicked... at school, and I really enjoyed it! Bradbury's descriptions are really amazing. A lot of the kids didn't like it because they didn't get it, but I thought it was awesome!!!!!
