Ray Bradbury's 'The Martian Chronicles' is also excellent. It's a collection of short stories related to the colonization of Mars. Bradbury's writing is vivid and imaginative, exploring themes like human nature, progress, and the consequences of our actions in a unique and engaging way.
Another great book is 'Interpreter of Maladies' by Jhumpa Lahiri. Her short stories often deal with themes of identity, immigration, and family. The writing is beautiful and the characters are very well - developed. Each story gives a deep insight into different aspects of the human condition.
