The Martian Chronicles

All right nerd confession: this is actually the first time I've read Ray Bradbury. I know! Shame! I don't often enjoy older sci-fi, so it was pretty easy to not get around to reading any. That said, I'm glad the book club picked this one. While there are dated sections (only one woman left on Mars and she's fat!), there were also truly poignant and progressive sections. And Bradbury's prose is just as lush and beautiful as I've been told. It was progressive for the time, and really read more like philosophy than sci-fi often. I see why it's a classic, and I'm glad I finally read it.
