We're about to finish our current selection, which means it's time for a new book. On May 7, we will travel back to the earliest days of science fiction, with H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine."
Along with Jules Verne, Wells is widely regarded as one of the progenitors of the science fiction genre. His "Time Machine," published in 1895, widely is credited with introducing the concept of time travel. It's also been the direct inspiration of at least two movie adaptations, and countless imitators.
As always, the club is open to new members as we start a new book. The club generally meets at 11 a.m. Mondays.
We'll be looking at a few things over the course of the book, not just the literary themes of the book but also the different time periods we'd like to travel to if we had access to a working time machine. Our first discussion is set to begin at 11 a.m. May 7.
