Absolutely everyone should read "The Time Machine." If you prefer, then an unabridged audiobook is great, I recommend putting in the effort to find a reading by Simon Vance. (It isn't a long book.)
The first paragraph of The Time Machine, is one of the best introductory paragraphs ever written (in my opinion, obviously.)
One relishes the imagery it reveals, as you read it, like a great main course of a fine meal - with delight, flavour and a promise of more.

- internet_points 2y agoHuh, I found "The Time Machine" disappointingly boring and hard to believe (I mean, it's sci-fi, and old sci-fi at that, so I was quite prepared to suspend some disbelief, but within the setting and the premises I remember I found the actions and thoughts of the characters unlikely)
