I just finished The Illustrated Man, which I haven’t read in decades. I was worried it wouldn’t stand up, but it was every bit as amazing as I remembered, but with the extra depth of reading it as an adult.

Particularly wonderful was “The Rocket” in which a broke junk dealer arranges for his kids to travel to Mars in a scrap metal rocket.

Bonus, about half of these stories ended up as Twilight Zone episodes!

Next, The Martian Chronicles, which I have read many times over the past 40 years but is always wonderful.
