[Bon of Babble]

I love these two quotes from Bradbury about writing:

1. “You don’t need anything but a pad and a pencil, for Christ’s sake!”

2. “Make a list of the things you hate, and the people you hate, and write about them.”

Yes, sic transit gloria mundi

I’d like to know Freepers’ favorite Bradbury short stories or novels:

For me: Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man

Short Stories: The Veldt, And There Will Come Soft Rains, Zero Hour (absolute best AFAIC), The Emissary.

Short stories -— The Long Rain is just incredible. Novels -— Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 541 especially one of the last lines. ‘and the leaves of the tree were the healing of the nations’.
