Weinbaum, Stanley

A Martian Odyssey, 1934. This was one of the best books I've ever read from this era, very entertaining.

Wells, H. G.

The First Men in the Moon, 1901. I expected this book to be silly (for some reason), but I found it to be quite good.
The Time Machine, 1895 I've had several of his books on my shelf since I was a child, but for some reason I never read them! I recently was bored, and had nothing new to read, so I went rummaging through my books and found this book. "The Time Machine" was small, and I had heard they were making a new movie based on it, so I decided to read it. I read it in two nights and though it was quite good, if not too short.
War of the Worlds, 1898. A few days after finishing "The Time Machine", I started on "War of the Worlds" and read a few chapters each night, finishing it in about a week. It was pretty good, though I had trouble understanding a few of the words (mostly job titles that probably don't exist any more!).
