Did I get what was going on? No. Did I enjoy it anyway? Yes.
The third part in the trilogy was just as much fun as the other parts. We dig into the world of the old Hollywood and black and withe films. The plot is all over the place, but still fun to read. But I do get why these books are not as famous as other ones by Ray Bradbury. Sometimes they remind me a little of Douglas Adams..

My other tentative reading project of 2023 has been Ray Bradbury's 100 Selected Stories. Rather than reading works from beginning to end as I did with Dickinson, I have been dipping in at random throughout the year & ticking off the piece in the table of contents when finished. Today I read the last 10 stories in the book, making this the official final book of 2023,. Bradbury is the author of 2 of my favorite works of all time (CONT)

vivastory “The Martian Chronicles“ & “Something Wicked This Way Comes.“ His short stories have been a decidedly mixed bag, with some truly sinister tales (“The Handler“ “The Pedestrian“ “Let's Play Poison“ etc) & some that manage to wax poetic about the past without becoming overly saccharine, something that Bradbury doesn't always accomplish. I think that Bradbury is better at longform fiction, or his fixup novels, but I am glad that I tackled (CONT) 4mo
vivastory this throughout the year. Onwards to 2024, HUZZAH! 4mo

Bookwormjillk Cool project! 4mo
vivastory @Megabooks Thanks, Meg! Happy New Year's 🍻 4mo
Aimeesue Yay! Something Wicked and Dandelion Wine are my faves. I think you‘re right, he did longer form better for the most part. 4mo
vivastory @Aimeesue I read Dandelion Wine in 2020 & it was a favorite until I read The Martian Chronicles. I still love it. I think he really nailed the nostalgia perfectly in DW 4mo
Ruthiella Love the reading projects. Happy New Year to you! 🥳 4mo
Branwen Dandelion Wine is my absolute FAVORITE book by Bradbury! Also, I have to ask...have you heard of the Ray Bradbury song by Rachel Bloom? 😂 4mo
vivastory @Branwen Hahaha yeah. It's been a bit since I've heard it, but it definitely is a hard one to forget 😂 4mo
Reggie Dude, at work all day today, as I was in casino hell, I thought about the reverence in which you talked about reading the collected poems. And it made me hate people less. lol 4mo
vivastory @Reggie Thanks, Reggie! I can only imagine how difficult your job is on NYE. 4mo

Great book! Bradbury discusses his writing processes, inspirations, and gives advice for aspiring writers. It is also part-memoir as he talks about how/why he became a writer and his early struggles.

Just… don‘t use the inflation calculator when he talks about how much he was paid for his first books. 😩

A quick and fun read about a group of boys who get transported all over the world and throughout the centuries on Halloween Night. I loved the illustrations in this edition, especially this one that's perfect for #AutumnFoliage #OctoberPhotoADay.

I‘d never read any ray Bradbury before this October and now I‘m obsessed! I‘m so lucky these stories are on audible plus, they‘re completely magical and I see myself rereading a lot. I wish some of my friends would hurry up and have kids so I could be the fun aunt who buys gorgeous whimsical seasonal books for them 🎃

AlaMich I still remember some of his short stories we read in middle school, a hundred years ago. 6mo
Emilymdxn @AlaMich he doesn‘t get read much in uk schools which I think is such a shame as he‘d be perfect! 6mo
