[imhotep]

It's H.G.Wells birthday today,and here is a bit of info about this great author.I like some of his books,especially the best one that I like......The War of the Worlds!! I love this book.
Other titles I like are The Time Machine and The Invisible Man and The Shape of things to come.
The embedded video is the original score of the album by Jeff Wayne.

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946), was an English author, best known for his work in the science fiction genre. Wells and Jules Verne are each often referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".
Wells was an outspoken socialist and a pacifist, and his later works became increasingly political and didactic. His middle period novels (1900-1920) were more realistic; they covered lower middle class life (The History of Mr Polly) and the 'New Woman' and the Suffragettes (Ann Veronica). He was a prolific writer in many genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary.

To celebrate his birthday I have got two links for all you War of the World's fans out there........
I'm an avid fan of War of the Worlds.I have both dvd's of the film,the old one and the new one starring Tom Cruise,and the book of the film too.I also have the cd album as well as the vinyl record of the novel.
