Re: Ray Bradbury
RIP Ray Bradbury.
I was never sure whether he should have been labelled a Sci-fi author. His writing was unique and hard to classify to any genre.
Not a point worth arguing over. I first read him as I was discovering Sci-fi and devouring books by Clarke, Asimov, Simak, Sturgeon and many others. I am just glad that his books were always found in the Sci-fi section of bookshops or I may (to my everlasting loss) have just ignored him.
My own preference was always for the short stories. I will now go and dig out The Illustrated Man and The October Country and re-read them.
