EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

This begins a group discussion of our Classics book selection, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, nominated by Rachel.
Here you can comment, without spoilers, on any aspects of the book, either before, during, or after reading it.

I read this years ago. The thing I can't get over is how ill-prepared he was. No packing or planning.

I started this one a few days ago, I am halfway through already. I had no idea of the premise excepted that it involved time travel

I'm about to start reading. I watched the film as a kid, and nostalgia says it was awesome (I remember the people living on the side of cliffs). I also think it was even featured in an episode of "Wishbone."... I feel so old right now.

I don't think this will really be my type of book, but since it's so short I'm willing to give it a shot

I read it a long time ago, and I remember I liked it.

I read this decades ago in high school. I think I liked it and will give it another go.

I read this a long time ago too and I’m looking forward to seeing what I think of it now.

As I was reading it this month, I remembered that I had read it years ago for school. I had totally forgotten!
