  1. I used to read Wells, Verne, and other such writers to the children. While we would eat breakfast, I'd read aloud from the old classics. I wanted to instill the love of good literature.

    1. ... and it still is; although I think that in reality - ;-) – no-one would have to travel as far into the future as Wells' protagonist to realise that evolution has progressed - and can now do without the self-proclaimed “crown of creation”.

  4. Suposo que és entretinguda, però ja saps que la ciència-ficció no m'agrada gaire.🤷‍♀️

    1. I don't read science fiction either. This book has been one of the few exceptions.
