Good title, eclectic Sci-fi. Bradbury‘s so much better than Dandelion Wine forced middle school reading.

Famously Winesburg, Ohio on Mars, also influenced by Grapes of Wrath. A foundational part of my personal canon, adventure and awe and curiosity, religion and philosophy, the best and worst of humanity, short stories that span the first landing on the red planet to its colonization to its last man (Bradbury originally dated his stories to take place from 1999 to 2026, later editions have moved them to 2030-57)

Really interesting collection of short stories that are all connected. Humanity starts to explore and colonize Mars. Commentary on militarism, nuclear weapons, colonization, genocide, racism and much more. That old sci-fi vibe that you can’t find anymore.
I read it as part of a class in college that was purely focused on reading different fictional works about Mars. It was awesome.

last year of elementary school, my teacher gave us a list of books and we had to choose one to present it to the class after holidays. i was the only one who chose The Martian Chronicles - because my dad transmitted his ufo hyperfixation to me (he saw one when he was young and that really stuck with him) - first literature emotion of my life, i’ll never forget how the way i saw the world changed afterwards

Not just for dads! Informative and soothing. So many subjects and typically feature a wide range of perspectives. Long live PBS.

Hard not to look like an asshole when you whip this out in public. But who cares! It’s a classic for a reason. Whitman’s prose flows gentle, like floating beachgrass on bright ocean waves. Or whatever.

Arguably the most consistent way to hang out with friends at least once a week. So many venues have them. Activity! Camaraderie! And you usually learn something.
Thursday is the best night for this, I think. Gives you something to look forward to other than the weekend.
