Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales by Ray Bradbury

3.0

I'm thinking now that this wasn't the best Bradbury option to start with. Some of the stories are (of course) phenomenal but some were so bad they made me blush -- very hit and miss. I liked that even his science fiction stories were about human behavior and by no means over-the-top. He writes a lot about mania, the virtue of superstition, and (less to my intrigue) literary characters in anachronistic settings. I'm jealous that his prose, despite seeming almost minimalistic, is often rich and searing, cutting right to the heart of the sentiment described.

My favorites: The Visitor, By the Numbers!, The Square Pegs, A Far-Away Guitar, A Blade of Grass, June 2001: And the Moon Be Still as Bright.
