Of all the books, The Time Machine should win because there is a new sequel out for it and it would be good to brush up on it before reading the sequel. The sequal is called Time Ships written by Stephen Baxter.
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.

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?

I can't believe the lack of love I'm seeing for The Shockwave Rider, but at least The City at Worlds End is tied for first place and Rendezvous with Rama is making a respectable showing.
Tom, this poll doesn't allow Chicago Voting....(vote early, vote often)

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).
