The Time Machine, H. G. Wells

This is small story at about 90 pages. It's very familiar but I like it. It's well thought out, both the time travel component and the future worlds he visits. I particularly like the way the world rushes by when he's in the machine.

The War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells

I've seen and read this story or versions of this story so many times. It's interesting to go back to the original and compare. Adaptations drop the character of the brother and just make it happen to the main character instead. References to the future seem out of place. They'd spoil the end if I didn't already know it. But hey, it is a classic.
