Guess I will have to read some Bradbury for my next short story post.<br /><br />So far I have a Nancy Kress story ready to review.Jim Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768774128257259384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175911616602946416.post-13196321189822860032010-02-08T22:23:52.368-05:002010-02-08T22:23:52.368-05:00Oooooo....both of those sound great. I have only ...Oooooo....both of those sound great. I have only read a couple of Wolfe's short stories, and his Wizard Knight series, and I've loved them all so far.<br /><br />The Astronaut is particularly intriguing. It sounds like just the kind of story I enjoy. Something about your description reminds me of parts of Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine, a growing up story that I really enjoyed.<br /><br />I read a couple of short stories from Robot Dreams over the weekend, I'll post about the collection once I'm done. I also read Asimov's latest issue, as you know from my review. <br /><br />I've had such a hunger for short stories recently. I ended up buying Ian McDonald's Cyberbad Days over the weekend and added a couple more anthologies to my library queue, Ted Chiang's and another that I can't recall right now.Carl V.
