You have a wonderful mix of selections, Alan. Bradbury is a favorite of mine, and I'm currently reading The Martian Chronicles. Enjoy your challenge!

Bradbury has always been a favorite. It has been a few decades since I read The Martian Chronicles that I thought this would be good challenge to reread.

Have fun with your challenges, Alan! I am interested in what you think of Naked Lunch. It was on my list for this year and I didn't get to it. I need some encouragement to get me inspired to finally read it!

Happy 2023 Reading! :)

Naked Lunch has been in my TBR pile a long time.
