The Martian Chronicles is the only short story collection I've read. So something like that would be great. But I'm open to other kinds of recs too.

I want books with good enough prose tho. Bad or flat prose is a turn off for me.

By the way, the sad reality is that many of the good sci fi stories have flat prose. It's just something you have to accept.
