Yay for the Martian Chronicles! I've recently discovered them in one of the few bookshops that have a decent selection of English books. I used to love them as a teenager - it's a completely different experience now, reading it as a sci-fi hardened adult, in original. It's so very different from the usual sci-fi we get to read; it has a very poetic air about it, almost no tech stuff at all, and is sometimes almost like a fairy tale.
I'm not sure I'd still love them, had I first met them as an adult. But since they're one of my very first encounters with sci-fi, they'll always have a special place in my heart.
