The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0553278223/104-3283348-3865560
This was really good. After 'Island' sucked the life out of me I was looking forward to reading some out-of-this-world short stories. This book is a bunch of short stories about colonising Mars. The stories are related to each other and run in order, but you can also read them seperately. The stories are more about the actual people that colonise Mars, the troubles they face, the troubles back on Earth and there are Martians too - it's not about ray guns, space ships, monsters and all that crap.
In summation - we should colonise Mars. Send all the nutters and criminals up there. People should have to take a test to remain on this planet otherwise they get exported as human cargo to Mars.
