"Americans are far more remarkable than we give ourselves credit for. We've been so busy damning ourselves for years. We've done it all, and yet we don't take credit for it."
- Ray Bradbury
I grew up reading Verne, Burroughs, Tolkien, Howard, and Bradbury, and have been rereading some of my favorite stories from "The Illustrated Man."
Ray Bradbury at CalTech reading "If Only We Had Taller Been." Enjoy!

RIP, Mr Bradbury - "...there was a sound of thunder!"
