Bradbury season

It means cooler weather and that I can finally make chicken and dumplings again! (Did that tonight, as a matter of fact. Mmm-mmm good!)

More importantly, it means we're in Bradbury season. If you know what I'm referring to, good for you.

If you don't, by all means educate yourself. Your assignment will be to read a Bradbury story a day for the month of October. Don't worry, they are short (some are only a couple pages long). But if after reading these you still don't know why October is Bradbury season... well, can't help you any more.

My recommendations, in no particular order:

1. Homecoming
2. The Lake
3. There Will Come Soft Rains
4. Mars is Heaven
5. A Sound of Thunder
6. Skeleton
7. The Jar
8. The Small Assassin
9. The Black Ferris
10. The Women
11. The Aqueduct
12. The Shoreline at Sunset
13. The Emissary
14. The Scythe
15. Usher II
16. The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl
17. Let's Play "Poison"
18. The Veldt
19. The Kilimanjaro Device
20. The Fog Horn
21. Exorcism
22. The Next in Line
23. The Haunting of the New
24. The Playground
25. The Parrot Who Met Papa
26. Fever Dream
27. Boys! Raise Giant Mushrooms in Your Cellar!
28. The One Who Waits
29. The Screaming Woman
30. The Trolley
31. The October Game

Happy reading!
