Kayrie: If you like s.s. collections, try Illustrated Man and Golden Apples of the Sun. For classic novel works, Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked This Way Comes are always winners!

Simply stated, "Enjoy!"

if your looking for good novels read his new release "From the Dust Returned", "F451", "The Illustrated Man", pretty much any book that he has written!

I started with "Farenheit 451", "Martian Chronicles" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes". I loved all three. They took me, with their ideas, to other science fiction writers, and then they took me to religion and philosophy and literature. I am a lifelong fan.

I also love many of his stories:

"All Summer in a Day"
"The Pedestrian"
"Kaleidoscope"
"The Dwarf"
"The Skeleton"
"The Rocket Man"
"The Fire Balloons"
"The Long Rain"
"The Veldt"
"The Small Assasin"
"The October Game"
"Zero Hour"
"The Blue Bottle"
"Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed"
"Fever Dream"
"The Playground"

His stories cover a broad range of subjects and style. These are just a small start.

Enjoy . . .

A good collection is, "The Stories of Ray Bradbury". Alfred A. Knopf, NY.

The other collections mentioned above are great, also. This anthology just gives you a lot of bang for the buck.
