 Shocked

... points... "HEATHEN BARBARIAN!"... no wait, that's me...

... points... "BLASPHEMOUS HERETIC!"... no wait, dammit... that's probably me again...

Go and read Martian Chronicles right now.

Or Fahrenheit 451. It's short. I'll wait.

Or The Halloween Tree. It's nothing less than a love letter to the month of October.

Martian Chronicles was my first read.  Fahrenheit 451 was for school.

I haven't read this, and October is one of my favorite months... Fall being my favorite season... thanks for dropping the title here, I'll have to track that one down...

I love The Martian Chronicles. But my favorite was Dandelion Wine--just lovely.
