Not exactly new, Jon. The Time Ships was published in 1995. :)

The eBook edition is new. Overdrive says it's published 2014. That's where I got that it's new. Oh well. :p

Jon, this may be the first time I've seen you support a book that's 119 years old. Whatever happened to your hatred of the classics?

Tom, this poll doesn't allow Chicago Voting....(vote early, vote often)

I have the power. ;) But people would find out and report me. :(

The time machine and Rendezvous with Rama - been there done that and have no desire to do it again. I recently read The Martian and agree with others that it has been discussed a lot at MR, so no vote for that.

Hmmm? What will I vote for? I think i'll probably want to stay in the 21st century.

Not all old classics are boring.

I hope The Time Machine by H.G. Wells wins as I downloaded it from Feedbooks this morning and already have it on my Sony Reader.

I hope so. War of the Worlds would be a good reread.

Although I would have preferred The Sheep Look Up, I gave one of my votes to The Shockwave Rider.

I was making a little joke about time travel (i.e. Back to the future). :)
