Finished The Time Machine/War of the Worlds and Flowers for Algernon. Really glad of the re-read. I've read Wells before of course, and I remember the Flowers for Algernon novella from school, all of which made a lasting impression on me. But all are even better as an adult reader, even though I was a precocious child. I had not realized what a genuinely good writer Wells was. And though I remember the novella of Flowers clearly, and it stuck with me, the novel is really so much better because it's so much more personally intense, especially in regards to the subplot of Charlie's relationship with his family, which was intense. Reviews for all forthcoming!
