This science fiction short story features in two of Bradbury's collections: A MEDICINE FOR MELANCHOLY and S IS FOR SPACE. Neither disappoints. Loved teaching this one in my science fiction unit. Bradbury's prose is poetic and terrifying.

Lin3han One of my favorite stories to read to my 7th graders!! 4w

Two Stories | Mark Haddon, Virginia Woolf

Pickpick

Originally Two Stories consisted of “Three Jews” by Leonard and “The Mark on the Wall” by Virginia.

Who knew that it was possible to get so many thoughts from looking at a mark on the wall? In the introduction to the story it said that this is when we first see the author Virginia is to become and I can see that.

This edition contains a story by Mark Haddon titled “St Brides Bay” which seems to mirror Virginia‘s writing style.

AllDebooks I have this edition, too. I found it so absorbing and so relaxing to read, just letting my thoughts drfit with hers. 1mo
AnneCecilie @AllDebooks That‘s also a little dangerous. I will read and get lost in what I read and I stop and think “what did I just read?” and then I have to read it again 1mo
AllDebooks @AnneCecilie True 😅 1mo

Cuốn sách này nói về câu chuyện thú vị của một phi công mắc kẹt trên sa mạc Sahara và gặp Hoàng tử bé từ hành tinh B-612.
Cậu bé đã du hành qua nhiều hành tinh, gặp những nhân vật kỳ lạ như một vị vua cô đơn và một doanh nhân bận rộn...mỗi cuộc gặp mang đến những bài học sâu sắc
Cuốn sách phản ánh sự khác biệt giữa sự ngây thơ của trẻ em và thế giới phức tạp của người lớn.
Nếu bạn chưa đọc thì quả thật rất đang tiếc

Librarybelle Yay! I‘m still reading through The Voyage Out but am looking forward to this month‘s read! 2mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle it's much shorter, thankfully. I'll keep alternating as her work does need concentrated reading. 2mo
Librarybelle I just did not budget my time with Voyage—enjoying it so far! 2mo
IndoorDame Can you take me off the tag list? I was eager to try reading with you all last month since I‘m definitely planning to read more Wolf this year, but I‘m just not up to group reads right now. I‘ll take a look at what everyone thought about The Voyage Out whenever I manage to pick it up. 2mo
AllDebooks @IndoorDame of course. No problem. 😊 2mo
kspenmoll I am still in The Voyage. Where did you find the short story? I am having trouble locating. 2mo
AllDebooks @kspenmoll I got my copy secondhand via Amazon 2mo

Great first lines | Celina Spiegel, Peter Kupfer

Love this! The first on my list is my favourite line of this lot. You‘ll never guess which book the second belongs to.

“In the fabled, glittering world that was St Petersburg before the First World War there lived, in an ice-blue palace overlooking the river Neva, a family on whom the gods seemed to have lavished their gifts with an almost comical abundance.”

“I am the vampire Lestat.”

“A secret is a strange thing.” ⬇️

xicanti “Both moons were high, dimming the light of all but the brightest stars.”

“When I opened the door, I could tell that Thamuris was dosed to the gills on laudanum.”

Books scored at the Singleton PCYC book sale last Friday. It‘s 2nd last day as I couldn‘t make the day either side. There were so many books it was overwhelming. I managed a quick glance through all the boxes. I‘d already been to 2 op shops so this was all I could carry. I was sore the next day. Grand total $13.

A Modern Library Giant. A book I couldn‘t resist at Goodwill even though I have too many books! My bone to pick is in the subtitle , by the “men “ who made it. No women here , expected in the time frame. I‘m sure I will still like it 😁

I moved to London when I was 21. I didn't know a single person there. I explored London through Dickens and loved every minute of it. I certainly came to know and love the place very quickly.
