Category: Classic Literature written before 1900
This 19th century story of a scientist who constructs a time machine and travels 800,000+ years into the future holds up remarkably well. I suppose this is in part due to how far into a strange future ...

The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter. It sounds like sci-fi space opera but it is nothing of the sort. It's a sequel to The Time Machine written in the same style as H.G. Wells. No Eloi or Weena, as you might have expected. It goes off in directions that constantly surprise.

10. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells 115 pages *****
This book was for a class. Wonderful little story, I'm really glad my professors included it. My favorite quote in the whole story was "There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change" (97). Great! And it was a 1,001 book! ...
The Time Machine is a great book & short too! I love H. G. Wells - hope you enjoy the book.
I'm glad Lamb is better.
The Time Machine shouldn't be very bad, it's one of the few books for the semester that I've heard of.
... ~ I couldn't get into Fluke myself, but I loved, loved, loved Lamb! When you get the chance, be sure to try it!
The Time Machine doesn't sound like too bad a book to have to read.
... Maybe Lamb? Who knows?
But that's probably the last of the fun reads for a while. I'm onto school books starting with The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.

Well, H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine , and The Island of Dr. Moreau are pretty short. I have them (along with 3 other stories) packaged together in a single book. I've heard The Yellow Wallpaper is also very short....

My next read is The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. First published in 1895, it's considered the first, and possibly greatest, portrayal of time travel (according to the blurb on the back of the book). I've seen old movie adaptations (although I've not seen the most recent one starring Guy Pierce ...

After leaving battle-scarred Victorian England (The Time Machine ), I have been floating around aimlessly, trying to find a good place to settle down. Right now I'm in non-fiction land juggling like six different books. Sigh....
