The Martian Chronicles

This is precisely my kind of fiction. There's no consistent characters, which makes me more interested in each one as they come up, and more fascinated by their respective scenes and ideas. Not everything makes sense, but this is the kind of book where I'm rather ok with that. This is supposed to be cautionary and unsettling, and it does a good job of being all of that. I'm not sure if this is old enough to be considered a classic, but if it is, it has become one of my favorite works of classic literature.
