Book Discussion: The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury, January 25

Reference Librarian Chris Murray will be conducting a book discussion this month on Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles.

Leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction, man comes to the Red Planet and finds Martians waiting, dreamlike. Seeking the promise of a new beginning, man brings with him his oldest fears and his deepest desires. Man conquers Mars, and in that instant, Mars conquers him. The strange new world with its ancient, dying race and vast red-gold deserts casts a spell on him, settles into his dreams, and changes him forever. Here are the captivating chronicles of man and Mars, the modern classic, by the peerless Ray Bradbury.
