Do kids still read him? </i><br /><br />I sure hope so... he's one of the all-time greats.<br /><br /><i>His stories always remind me of the autumn anyways. </i><br /><br />I agree... that might be why I picked it up. I actually just found it in a local used bookstore, same cover as pictured here. The Halloween Tree is worth a re-read each year around this time.<br /><br /><i>Sometimes it takes a while for me to recognize it, but it's always there, if I have the patience to wait for it.</i><br /><br />I agree... Bradbury is generally not one of those slice of life writers, just showing you a head-scratching vignette. Usually there's some moral or point to the story, or else he's showing you something really frightening, or cool.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments, all.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-43270145496445707802011-10-08T03:04:05.568-04:002011-10-08T03:04:05.568-04:00Brian,

This is a really good collection. <br /><br />I started reading The Halloween Tree to my kids this week. Lots of great imagery in that book. His stories always remind me of the autumn anyways.Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-34248209518947259032011-10-07T22:51:10.464-04:002011-10-07T22:51:10.464-04:00A great writer.
