"The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury, I take my hat off to you sir.
Then I consider putting on another hat just for the sake of taking it off again.

The man is a genius. 

"The Martian Chronicles" is lyrical and beautiful, concise and profound, science fiction without being scientific.  It is more than entertaining; it is relevant.

I think everyone should read it.

It may be called "The Martian Chronicles" and set primarily on Mars, but it is an intensely human book about human nature and humanity.
