The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

WTF??? This wasn't at all what I thought!

First of all, the general storyline I knew:
The Time Traveler makes a time machine and travels to the year 802,701 and meets a very different society from that which one thinks would be in the future. He prepares himself to meet a society that has far advanced medicine and sciences, but instead meets two vastly different groups of beings: the Eloi, peaceful sun loving people who have the mentality of children. They lazy about all day with absolutely no worries. But at night they sleep in big groups to hide from the Morlocks, white, carnivorous, ape-like creatures who live underground and terrorize the Eloi.
The Time Traveler meets a young girl by the name of Weena and she follows him on some of his adventure to recover the time machine, which had been taken by the Morlocks and locked away.
I wont reveal the ending, but I was very surprised at the end with what happens to Weena and the Time Traveler.
I enjoyed the book very much, but I was shocked with what happened to Weena. (Okay, okay, I know its just a story but still!!! It's not fair!)

Anywho, here's my reading list:

A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne (Currently reading this)
80,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

So I seem to be on a classics streak... Why not? They're great books. :)

Around the World in 80 Days

Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne.

I like Jules Verne stories, and I liked this one alot. Phileas Fogg is the main character who makes a wager with his Reform Club friends that he can go around the world in 80 days. He says what route he will take and how long each part will take. He bets half his fortune that he will make it back. They dont believe he can do it but take the wager anyway.
It tells all about his journey, mainly through the adventures and experiences of Passpartout, his newly hired servant. I loved the ending and I wanted to yell at him to make it to the Reform Club before time was out. If you like old books like that, then you'll like this one.

The next books on my reading list: (not necessarily in order)

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
20000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne

I have more books that I will read, but I will not add them to this list quite yet. I will be reading some LDS books in the near future, and those will be put on my other blog, Everything LDS!, so hop on over there if that's what your looking for.
