The Illustrated Man

Has anyone read this collection of short stories by Ray Bradbury?

It piqued my curiousity a while ago. The song "Rocket Man" by Elton John was inspired by a short story in this collection...

Now, again, it has resurfaced and has been brought to my attention. I am not much for science fiction, but this book intrigues me. From what I understand, his writings are very thought provoking and sometimes unsettling, besides being entertaining and superb writing.

I decided to see if I could acquire a liking to science fiction so after I finally finished the Catcher in the Rye, I went to The Door into Summer by Heinlein.

Just curious to see if there are any seasoned Science Fictoin buffs out there?
