Ray Bradbury Theater

Oh my gosh! It's on DVD!
Well, I have to confess... Ray Bradbury is one of the 3 writers I've decided to read all their works in English. The other two are Isaac Asimov and Terry Pratchett. (I can't read Éva Janikovszky or Miklós Vámos in English, because they write in Hungarian...) I've read a bunch of Pratchet's short stories and one of his novels (451 Fahrenheit), and I love them since the first story.
But my meeting with his works started when I saw two eopisodes of The Ray Bradbury Theater in the TV: "The Murderer" and "Here There Be Tygers". I liked both, and after that I realized we have a thick red book on the bookshelf - Ray Bradbury: Martian Chronicles (it also contained 451 Fahrenheit and some other selected short stories).

I tried to get the series from anywhere, and now... it's on DVD. Well, I think I know what would I like to buy after the plane tickets...

That would be Bradbury's Short stories ;)

Erm... no. The book's title was Martian Chronicles; and it also contained some short stories from several of his other books. Power House, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Golden Apples Of The Sun, and To The Chicago Abyss - and some others I can't remember now.
