(1950) I read this repeatedly in Junior high and high school, but it's been maybe thirty years since my last visit. The stories have lost some charm: Bradbury's fondness for small-town life is a faith I no longer share. And the idea of colonists recreating mid-twentieth-century Midwestern life on Mars now feels more disturbing than nostalgic. But several stories still effectively evoke a mood for me, not bad for a book pushing 75. #classiclsfbc
