Oh I already picked it up along with The Island of Dr. Moreau and one other but the title escapes me at the moment and I am too lazy to go check it. Anyway, the only Wells that I had read previously was The Invisible Man.

I liked the movie. saw it today... well most of it. lol. it was funny. i think ill like the book better. I'll read it, so don't fret. I read alot. any other book suggestions would be nice. I need a life.

If you like War of the Worlds, you'll like Dan Simmons's Hyperion series.

Apart from that, I'm looking forward to David Morrell's Creepers coming in September.

It's part of a series call Great Ilutrated Claasics. They're for kids and people who want to read a book but are too lazy to read the real thing. War of the World was 238 pages, but there are ALOT of ilustrations...lets about about 125 written pages.

I remember those. That is how I read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the first time when I was ten, I think.....I did eventually read the original version however.:D

That's another great book (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson). Not too long, either.

Ivanhoe? Wish I would have known that was one before I read it....I might have to read this version instead.

For some reason, I didn't read that book so much as suffered it. Not that it isn't a great book, I just couldn't get into it. But I refused to give up, so I did finish it.
