Kewl, but by "original" I assume you mean the 1956 version with Gregory Peck, not the lame-o 1930 one with John Barrymore?

Just finished the latest Lincoln Rhyme story, "The Burning Wire" - a shocker!

Martian (Ruth S. Hare)
I'm reading 'R is for Rocket' again (after many years) and 'The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets' by Helen Vendler (a hefty but ultimately very rewarding volume!). Also flicking through a Robert Mitchum biography (he was also something of a precocious writer in his youth).
I've just finished 'A Curtain of Green', a collection of short stories by Eudora Welty, which was wonderful. My favourite story was 'The Key'.
I've got a long list of books to read in future - probably a lot of poetry and hopefully one good novel.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Martian (Ruth S. Hare),

Still on The Martian Chronicles (again).
Or, technically, The Silver Locusts, since it is my UK paperback version from the late '70s that I'm reading. [Only with the 1970s TV miniseries of MC did UK publishers finally switch the title to match the American title.]
Just bought "The Martian Chronicles", the memory of which has served to inspired some poetry over the years. First reading was close to 40 years ago.

I am the lucky recipient of an uncorrected proof of Becoming Ray Bradbury by Professor Jonathan R. Eller. If the rest of the book is half as good as the first chapter I see a Pulitzer nomination coming.

Just imagine how good the corrected version will be!
