Favorite HG Wells Book

[Hsinchu]

HG Wells was born on this day in 1866. What is your favorite work by this iconic science fiction author? Thoughts about the man and/or the work are appreciated.

"The Land Ironclads"
War of the Worlds
The Shape of Things to Come

All excellent. The first is a short story, fyi.

I only read the first two, sadly.

Really liked the Time Machine movie more than the book, surprisingly. I usually prefer books because the movie screws it up

Ive only read "The Land Ironclads," so Ill reserve judgment.

Would be cool to read some of his books, Ill probably start with War of the Worlds
