The Time Machine and Other Stories by H. G. Wells

(Book Review--actually not really)

Last week when doing my scripted review of The Time Machine, I held up a version of the book that I got at the library discard pile: The Time Machine and Other Stories published by Scholastic Library Edition 1963.  I then made a comment that I might go ahead and read "the other stories" next, and then I did.  Those are:

* The Empire of the Ants

* The Country of the Blind

* The Man Who Could Work Miracles

So, for my accounting purposes, I'll just make a note here that I completed all the short stories in this book, and I'll count this as1 book read at the end of the year.
