And I thought *I* was the biggest Ray Bradbury fan of all time. This is the best thing I've seen since the Bronte Sisters action figures.
I fell in love with Ray Bradbury's writing somewhere around sixth grade, when I read "All Summer in a Day" and bawled at the ending.
My father is into science fiction, and I waited in terror in 1984 for the year 2001. (Please not the rats, not the rats!) (I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I cannot do that.)
Ray Bradbury both terrifies and intrigues me. Whether you're into scifi or not, you have to tip a hat to such a prolific writer -- and one who introduces his longest collection of short stories with an essay called "Drunk, and in Charge of a Bicycle."
Let me be clear: I am a complete Ray Bradbury fangirl. I worship the man's entire catalog. But never did it occur to me to take my love to the next level. The Bret Michaels level. Observe.
After I stopped laughing at this video, I pulled my five-pound copy of The Stories of Ray Bradbury off my shelf and perused the table of contents and "also by" section with fresh, newborn eyes.
