Crusing The Classics

There is an ongoing debate as to whether science fiction is considered classic literature.
Both stories are considered classroom reading but again we'll not see the books but
the otr resemblance to the books.
We'll be looking first at "Escape." We've been there before but now we'll be looking
at "The Most Dangerous Game."
Then we'll be diving in to Bradbury with "Dimenssion X," and "Mars Is Heaven."
