Ray Bradbury

A crazy scheme to bring peace to the world with the aid of rust...A Martian who could be Jesus...An author is plucked from his grave to write a novel... This collection from Ray Bradbury demolishes the old saying: truth is stranger than fiction.

I'm thoroughly enjoying these short stories. They're the perfect length, each about 10 to 15 pages, just enough to build up the story and knock it over with a classic Bradbury twist. My favorite stories for far are "The Burning Man", which asks the reader to reexamine his or her own prejudices in the setting of a typical lone road hitchhiker horror story, and "The Perfect Murder" which shows that time is the ultimate judge and jury. I plan to finish reading the remaining stories and mail the book on Saturday.
