what’s your favorite story or chapter in The Illustrated Man?

Mine are Kaleidoscope (the one where the astronauts rocket blows up and they are flying through space) and The Long Rain (the one where the 4 soilders are on Venus where it always rains)

I like Kaleidoscope and The Rocket the best… the Veldt and Zero Hour made me cringe (evil children anyone?) Have you read the Wonderful Ice Cream Suit? Much different in style :o)

i read hundreds of sci fi books a couple of decades ago. now i cannot remember much about any of them. i was just a brief passion then if lost interest. bradbury was such a good writer but his science was not so good, if i recall. i should have been doing something a little more productive and investing money for my retirement it seems. good luck. (i recall that i read approximately 300 books one year). i guess i would rate arthur clarke far ahead of bradbury because he knew so much more about science and had far greater vision. but bradbury was nearly a poet of sorts. for sheer fun i think varley was superior.
