BEST OF RAY BRADBURY
BEST OF RAY BRADBURY | Ray Bradbury
9 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Gr. 6-up. Here's a collection that will have graphic novel fans and die-hard Bradbury readers scrambling for the shelves. Some of the best artists in the business have adapted the author's short stories for the comics page. Each adaptation is accompanied by a preface by Bradbury, offering insight into the inspiration for the story, and each artist is paired with a story that suits his artwork perfectly. Among the best are "Come into My Cellar," from Dave Gibbons (of Watchmen fame), a Tales from the Crypt -like story of invaders from outer space, complete with a cliff-hanger ending and retro artwork, and "The Golden Apples of the Sun," adapted by P. Craig Russell (Sandman), an interstellar exploration of the uninhabitable star. A wonderful showcase of graphic novel artists and a great introduction for readers new to Bradbury's dark fantasy world. -Carlos Orellana

I can‘t believe we‘ll be halfway through September tomorrow!

Everyone seems to be enjoying Ray Bradbury 😊👍📚. I love this RB quote! I don‘t know if it‘s from this book or not.

If you‘re the type who likes to plan ahead, October‘s author is Stephen King! Prepare to be scared! (Books written under his pen name Richard Bachman are also acceptable!)

Enjoy your reading!

This one is a bit iffy for me.
What do you guys say? Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why or why not? 😃

QueenJen I suppose the are worse crimes, but I just can't imagine it!! On the other hand, the are some books not worth reading. I did get up and throw one away once. Perhaps I'm not in the best position to judge?? 5y
LogiKitty In context (I think that came from Fahrenheit 451 or its forward), I agree! Got to try reading all kinds of genres! 5y
imitelis To me, it's a tragedy. 5y

The picture cut off Farewell Summer. Looks like I need to add quite a few to my TBR. I‘ve only read Fahrenheit 451, but it remains one of my fave novels to this day. Just sayin‘. #dystopianblues

britt_brooke I need more Bradbury in my life, too! I‘ve only read Fahrenheit 451 as well; planning to reread it this year. 6y
Wbabdullah You and I are on the exact same page! :) pun intended!! @britt_brooke 6y
britt_brooke @Wbabdullah 😆☺️🙌🏻 6y
Wbabdullah Oh my goodness-I just learned here on Litsy that Fahrenheit 451 will be adapted for TV by HBO and is set to air Spring 2018–check out the trailer!! @britt_brooke link to other Litsy post about it: Tiffy_Reads's post http://litsy.com/p/S2JKZkV6SGxH (edited) 6y

My book club has picked short stories for November's theme and I was curious as to what your favorite books of short stories were? Single or multiple author collections are fine! I'm a huge Bradbury fan myself.
