The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury)

A good old fashioned read with ideas of the time it was written (sexist, nuclear war, values). I think it was a bit naive to think that everyone would return to Earth because of a war though. But spot on about us Earthlings - first we go and kill all the aliens and then we decide we don't want their planet anyway!

Black mark to the author - I can't believe his books are not available digitally.
