@swinstead Yep! I enjoyed it when I read it, but that was about 20 years ago. I would probably enjoy it even more now.

I primarily read science fiction, but I will also read some general fiction, and even an interesting autobiography.
I love The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm not sure if anything I'll ever read will supplant it as my favorite thing to read.

essteeyou rated There Will Come Soft Rains: 4 stars
essteeyou finished reading There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury
Very short story. I like Ray Bradbury, I think. I've only read something by him two times.
This one sounds so futuristic, but then certain parts of the technology make it clear that it was written a long time ago.
I like that it was set in the distant future of 2026.

It's getting more interesting as it goes, but it's a bit of hard work. The outdated language and writing style is a bit off-putting.

Well, that was amazing. I read it in an evening and I wish it was ten times as long.

I can't help but start reading this immediately. I've got so many other stories on the go, and a lot of other things to do, but here I am, reading chapters of Chapters.

essteeyou finished reading Slapstick or Lonesome No More by Kurt Vonnegut
I got through this one pretty quickly. It was very easy to pick up, read a "chapter" and put back down again.

Content warning Mild spoiler of the first few pages.
Making a bit of an effort to actually finish this one.
I'm glad the story also takes place in the "present" and not just the post-apocalyptic future.
