It may not all show but it should all fit in the "Img" box (button above text box.) I don't know how to reduce a url and I post pictures here all the time.

Okay, I finished reading One More for the Road on Saturday, July 30. Up until the title story I almost lost the will to live, but then the book started to improve and turned out to be a pretty good collection. That last story was too cute! Did anyone else notice the number of characters named William in this collection and a higher than usual proportion of stories told in first person?

I thought "Tangerine" was the best story in that book.

Wow, I started Farewell Summer not knowing what to expect. It took me at least seven years to get through the last book and on this one I read 75 pages in one day! This is an almost unheard-of amount. Within recent memory, five pages a day of a book I am reading to myself, not an audiobook, is a huge big deal!

I aim to finish it on his birthday and will report how that goes.

You'll never keep up with Bradbury at that rate!

Not if he can write a thousand words a day and I don't read that many. I remain alarmingly and appallingly behind on several favorite authors.

Finished reading Farewell Summer on Ray's birthday. A worthy sequel to the greatest book ever achieved by one human being without direct divine intervention. It could have done with more careful editing. Detailed description here: http://forums.abebooks.com/abe...ssages?msg=25262.850

I completed 'MARTIAN CHRONICLES' also 'THE ILLUSTRATED MAN'.What ever books I had read till now I think 'THE ILLUSTRATED MAN' is the best for me among all.
