Hi, Ellen - sorry this reply took so long. I've been AFK with holidays. No, I don't have a particular Bradbury favorite. I remember hearing him speak at a class taught by Harlan Ellison. Harlan made him promise not to read his whale poetry; Bradbury promised and then did it anyway.

Hi Denise,

Magical Realism isn't everyone's cup of tea. I'm glad that you found some take-aways.

Hi Shari,
It's hard to go wrong with Gaiman! I'm glad you've found this post useful.

By including The Ocean at the End of the Lane, you've given me a great touchstone as well. I love that book.

Thank you, James!

You can never go wrong with Bradbury. Do you have a favorite?
I was introduced to his work in high school with Dandelion Wine.

I hear you about the confusion, Kris. We had an interesting, spirited discussion at home on this topic.

I'll have a look at The Ten Thousand Doors of January. I am a big fan of historical fiction, so the combination sounds irresistible.
