Along w/Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Cordwainder Smith, Jules Verne, Robert Heinlien, H.G. Wells, Frank Herbert and, of course, David Zindell I would have to put Ray Bradbury in my Sci-Fi Hall of Fame. Some of the most sophisticated translations of Sci-Fi 2 film have come from this Master: The Illustrated Man, Farenheit 451, The Martian Cronicles and The Wonderful IceCream Suit. 4 my gerneration, and b4, Farenheit 451 along w/Brave New World, Stranger in a Strange Land, 2001: A Space Odessy and 1984 have had a profound influence in shaping our preception of the world, crystalizing our fears and giving us hope 4 the future. I especially like Bradbury's short stories--in this small field, the Sci-Fi Short Story, Bradbury may very well b the undisputed Master! Aside from Farenheit all the filming I've talked about above has been adapted from short stories. Some of Bradbury's best short story collections include: R is for Rocket, Dandelion Wine, S is 4 Space, A Medicine 4 the Melancoly and my personal fav Golden Apples of the Sun. I love 2 talk about Bradbury-SO much 2 talk about-SO many different types of stories and subject matter-So much 2 absorb...I'd love 2 hear ur thoughts on the great man--and King, I know u'r dying 2 chat away.... Fall Far and Well Pilots!<i>Edited by: danlo60 at: 5/8/02 4:57:08 pm
