Location: Austin, Tx		I, like a few others, chose The Martian Chronicles as my 1950 book. I put up a full review, but would just like to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get over the "dated" bits and just enjoy the book as it is. I also highly recommend the audiobook read by Stephen Hoye (the one on Audible). By delivering it a little pulpy, but also very evenly so, he mitigates some of the cheesiness that might have resulted from a straight print reading on my own.

Next up: 1951 - The Day of the Triffids, though it is a bit down my list because of a couple of challenges that end mid-year
