But funny!
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
"R" is for Rocket.
One of my first Sci Fi reads as well.
Sigh.

I hope NOTHING of Sagan rubs off on those two great authors! ( I think the publicity REALLY went to Carl's head.)
OTOH, Dr. Sagan was a pot head of extraordinary caliber. Gets points for that. And he DID write some great books. Broca's Brain is probably my favorite.

If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
I LOVED the Martian Chronicles mini-series on TV. The book was outstanding, too, of course.
Could be my very favorite Bradbury work is The Illustrated Man. The movie, with Rod Steiger, is one I can watch over and over.
R.I.P, Mr. Bradbury.

You are one of the few I know that has read Broca's Brain. Effin' excellent.

My favorite part of it, and it's stuck with me for years, were his words about "predicting the future with dreams."

Ray Bradbury is one of the few schience fiction writers that has actually produced stuff that I like. I generally dislike sci-fi (after all, who needs sci-fi when the real thing is far more fascinating). Nonetheless, Bradbury was one of the few sci-fi writers that could grab my attention and keep me interested. He was a great writer.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
It was Bradbury's humanity and mixture of sci-fi and fantasy that made his work so much different than his contemporaries in the field.
