Review Summary: A generally insightful and well-written collection of true stories.

True Crime is a collection of true short stories, almost all of which are about a particular crime with one or two that are more philosophical thoughts on crime. Many of these stories are written by the people who lived them, although a few are instead written by journalists. As the slightly over-dramatic subtitle indicates, the content of these stories varies widely.

Doing Dewey’s Best of Bradbury

Today, to commemorate Ray Bradbury’s passing on June 5th, I’d like to share with you some short excerpts from what I think are his best short stories. These are stories and particular passages which stuck with me after I read them and really made me think.  I hope they do the same for you.
