>The Long Rain. . 5/5. Or 6/5. Are they all going to be so incredible? And fall about a horrifying concept.

The Exiles - 4.5/5 stars. Makes me want to reread Fahrenheit 451.

The Last Night of the World - 4.5/5. This one feels like I should reread it again from the beginning and think on it. It’s so short, I don’t know what I think.

“The Man” is five stars. It also reminds me eerily of déjà vu. But I really don’t think I’ve read this one before.

The Other Foot & The Highway were my nightly reads. Now I’m ruminating on the framing story. Where are these stories placed physically? Does The Highway run along the spine of the Illustrated Man? Is The Other Foot placed where you’d expect it to be, or is it sneakily playing out across a bicep? And what does the narrator feel when witnessing such colorful impossibility? I have too many thoughts lol

Kaleidoscope was amazing. I want to read the whole collection immediately but I also want to pace myself. I don’t know which side of me will win lol.

I’ve read the Veldt before, and it’s as good as I remembered. I just adore his writing.
