The winner of last week's Great Wednesday Compare (J. D. Salinger Vs. Ray Bradbury), with a final score of 12-2, was Ray Bradbury.Some pretty enthusiastic love for Bradbury last week. Looks like I need to read Dandelion Wine. Up to now I've only read Fahrenheit 451, but you've all convinced me to read more.
This week's compare is perhaps a little obvious- akin to the whole Captain Kirk versus Captain Picard "debates". Nonetheless, I'm going to go down the predictable path.

It's still Bradbury for me. Dandelion Wine really impacted me when I was in high school. It is one of the books that helped to shape my desire to study literature and write novels. The latter of which I have not accomplished . . . yet.
I've not read any Asimov, so I'll go with Bradbury by default. Although he is certainly deserving of the vote regardless.
Can't believe I forgot to vote when I was here earlier. *slaps forehead*
Asimov. Because he was the honorary president of the American Humanist Society before he died.
I guess Bradbury, though I don't have a strong preference either way.
I'll go with Bradbury again this week since I've read more of him than of Asimov.
I haven't read a lot of Asimov so I guess I'm a default vote for Bradbury as well.
This is difficult, but I've got to go Asimov this week. I really enjoyed his autobiography, which I borrowed from my first husband.
This one is really tough. I think I'll have to go with Bradbury, though, as I'm under his spell this year.
Voting is now closed.
