Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury — 8 titles in the rankings, first published between 1950 and 1990. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note Fahrenheit 451 is the one most readers know, but his best-rated books here are Dandelion Wine and The Martian Chronicles — and all four of his most-read books sit within a fifth of a point of each other. Much of his best work is short stories: The Illustrated Man and The October Country are good collections to start with.
