I gave in and bought a paperback some time ago, when I was collecting all the BSFA award winners. 630 densely-printed pages. I was about to start it last week, but was away from home for one night and decided I didn't want to be taking a paper book, so ended up starting The Healer's War by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough instead (also in the Humble Bundle, but mine is the SF Gateway version I bought a couple of years ago). I have nearly finished that, though, so might just about start The Time Ships before the ebook is published.

I'm enjoying The Healer's War. Not your typical genre book at all. It's about a nurse in the Vietnam war, who encounters a mysterious old man and a touch of magic.
