Sci-Fi Book # 6 - The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

Looking at H.G. Wells' bibliography he really started out with a bang... The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, Island of Dr. Moreau ... all within four years! The guy was on fire... but then the list continues with like fifty more books I've never heard of and no one ever discusses. I'm kinda curious about those other books... are they any good? Are they even available? Anyway...


The Time Machine is a fun short read. The story is pretty simple... a guy builds a time machine and travels to the distant future and finds that humans have evolved into two separate species - the Eloi and the Morlocks. He makes friends with the Eloi, the Morlocks hide his machine, he eventually gets it back and returns home only to find that most of his friends don't really believe his story.  Total classic: A
