Ray Bradbury: The Martian Chronicles

Pick up the book The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury from our library. In class we will begin to read and discuss Bradbury's writing. After today, continue to read at your own pace, but realize that we will be picking up a new book in a week or two.

Please visit Bradbury's website, listed under the links. Again, find out information about him, his other books (particularly if you are or have read F451 in English class), and his advice to young writers like yourself. Like Margaret Atwood, please post comments and questions to the Bradbury forum on our forum page.
