Which reminds me: I should get back to her, too. I have something called Birds Fall Down? Have loved some of her other books.Frisbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394353185610393979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25137929.post-74954440794857531982011-08-08T17:19:32.587-07:002011-08-08T17:19:32.587-07:00I'll look for the list at the Guardian.

David Lodge's book is a beautifully-written fictional biography; Palma's also includes a short biog of Wells. <br /> <br />At The Guardian (somewhere) David Lodge wrote a list of his favorite WElls. <br /><br />I started reading Wells last year, but Lodge and Palma sre both inspiring, though Palma concentrates only on The Time Machine.Frisbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394353185610393979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25137929.post-20733398953754863612011-08-08T13:20:04.834-07:002011-08-08T13:20:04.834-07:00I have both this and the David Lodge.

All I've read is Island of Dr. Moreau and about him via my Rebecca West project.<br /><br />Any suggestions on how I should proceed?SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.com
