Happy Birthday, HG Wells
Are you interested in reading books by the father of the TIME MACHINE? Who wouldn’t be? We’ve got plenty of books on the shelves at the library, but for those of you who are living with more futuristic book technology, the works of H.G. Wells are in the public domain, and you can read and download full text files of Wells’ books and short stories at sites like Bartleby.com, Project Gutenberg (you’ll need to scroll down) or Google Books.
