Yeah - those are the two first edition hardcovers I have. Very nice artwork.

The first Ray Bradbury book I read was The Martian Chronicles, which my dad bought me when I got tired of reading all the boring stuff my mom got me. Ray has been my favourite author since.

For me the first short story was "Embroidery"...that was on the homereading class.After a few years I started to read "Martian Chronicles".Now I cannot but express my deep gratitude and respect to Ray.I was fascinated by his style,which is unique for every story,but one can easily recognise his manner of writing.

I don't know - I kind of preferred Colorado, but then I'm a mountain person.

The first book of his that I ever read was the first "grown-up" book my parents gave me. It was R IS FOR ROCKET, which I still have and I either got it for Christmas of 1962 or my birthday in early 1963, I can't remember which. I've been reading Bradbury ever since and just finished WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS, which is a wonderful collection!
