I selected Ray Bradbury as the second book for my A-Z project simply because of the title of his book- We'll Always Have Paris.
I was hurriedly trying to select a book- any author whose name begins with B when I found this. A hasty look at the book jacket showed a beaming Woody Allen kind of a person on the cover. Humour, I thought. I like humour. I stole a quick glance at the back. 'Pulitzer' leaped out at me. Heavy weight praises and prizes won adorned the entire page. The book was a collection of short stories, I gleaned from some serious skimming of the Intro. I made my decision. I'll take it.
The stories range from happy to poignant to scary. There is even a sci-fi one in the collection. All the stories are compelling. Even the Poe-style horror one, I just had to continue reading merely to reach the end.
The stories all just come alive and you can almost see the characters. Everything else but the book kind of fades away. Quite a good read.
My only advice however would be- If you are like me, someone moved by tragedy and horror; read in the daytime.
