The First Men in the Moon

from Paper Cuts · host Glacier Nester

A new book is always a lovely sight around here, and that goes double for starting a new book from a favorite author of mine. H.G. Wells is solidly a member of the english canon for a reason, sure, but he's also just plain and simple a nostalgic author for me to read. Sure, I really only zoned in on a few books of his, but that just leaves us plenty of room to find new tales of his here! Also, please tell me I'm not the only one who's getting wires crossed about H.G. the actual author, and H.G. the character from Warehouse 13! Dunno what's made that particular piece of alternate history fiction stick in my brain, (I do, it's that the show's so good) but good golly has it been a persistent stumbling of mine.
