52. The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells (****) 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.

I can spot a couple of my favourites there, Life of Pi and The Time Machine, good reads both of them.

The Time Machine

May was a prety good month for me with books from the list. I listened to three H.G. Wells audiobooks, The Time Machine, War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man. I also finished several through DailyLit, King Solomon's Mines, Northanger Abbey and The Castle of Otranto. I really enjoyed ...

The Time Ships, Stephen ?Baxter's sequel to Well's The Time Machine, is very good. Replay by Ken Grimwood is a bit like Finney's Time and AGain but I prefer it. IIRC, Tim Powers' The Anubis Gates involves time travel. And while I'm not a big fan of Heinlein's novels, his two time- ...

The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells

tantan, I've only read The Time Machine. I tried one of his books as a young adult, as I really enjoyed Jules Verne at the time, and thought I might enjoy Wells as well. But I didn't get into it then. Then I thought I'd try The Time Machine when I saw it at the library, and thought it was a ...

tantan, I read The Time Machine last year (a library book copy) and it was a great read, I really liked it. I've got his The Invisible Man upstairs, and I'm looking forward to that one too! I'm currently reading The Lambing Flat, a book I got *ages* ago through the Happy Crazy Smile Day RAB ...

With thanks to DailyLit I've finished The Time Machine. So now I'm on to Pride and Prejudice. Seen the movie many times so I thought it was finally time to read the book. Also still plowing through The Far Pavilions.

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....

When I was 13, I read The Time Machine. I loved the whole idea of time travel, particularly traveling to the far future. I'd never seen anyone think that way before. My imagination was ignited like a rocket ship. I read some other Wells, but nothing compared. Interesting that I wound up having ...
