H.G. Wells

Who else really likes his work? And not just War of the Worlds, but the Time Machine and the Invisible Man. I love him and I think that because of the success of War of the Worlds a lot of his other work got overlooked.

Has anyone else read anything besides War of the Worlds by him?

I've read The Invisible Man and The Island of Dr Moreau. I've been meaning to read more of his stuff, I really liked those two. I like that kind of old sci-fi. But being an English student, you don't get any time to read anything that you actually enjoy







It's kind of ironic that I'm an english student yet I can only 'say it with smilies'.

I've never read War of the Worlds, I just picked up the Island of Dr Moreau once upon a time in the library on a whim, and thought it looked interesting (the way I've discovered most of my favourite writers and books.)

i've only read ann veronica by him. i think it's a later novel. is most of his stuff science fiction apart from this one?

I think he stuck mainly to science fiction, but I'm not that sure. I dont know a lot about him.

i had a friend that was obsessed with that book. i think she read it tons of times over the past 20 years or something. i borrowed it and it was quite good. this was quite a while ago. it's short isnt it?
