The Time Machine

i had to write an essay on that once. good book. i wrote about how i thought h. g. wells was boring, unintelligent, and unimaginative. i don't actually believe that to be true, but i thought it would make the essay more fun.

i'm still stuck with Rainbow Six, by Tom Clancy  Undecided i've had it for about two months now and i'm only about 150 pages in. it bores me, does anyone want it? come and get it!

Quote from: Hodgson on July 29, 2003, 07:58:39 PM

That's one of my favorite books.  The preface alone is reason to pick it up.  And it is eminently re-readable, as I intended to re-read it (again) this fall or winter.

As you like Dorian Gray, two other books you might enjoy (if you've not already read them) are The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym by Poe, and Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Maturin.  Maturin was a great-uncle of Wilde's or something, and I've heard it suggested that Melmoth the Wanderer was a partial influence on Dorian Gray.


Yeah, it's an amazing work. I could underline nearly every sentence. I'll read it again a few times in the future, that's for sure. And yes, I've read Pym by Poe but I never heard of Charles Maturin. I'll search amazon now and give it a try since it sounds interesting what you say.
