The Martian Chronicles
Beautifully written, you can see Bradbury stretching his skill here. It is pretty amazing to think that this was written more than 60 years ago. It is definitely a product of its time with all the pipe smoking and "Golly, gee" dialogue. Still, as a characterization of the post-war attitudes of progress and destruction, it is a pretty good window into the American psyche of its time.
