Answer 1

1) This is an amazing story that I recommend with all my heart. HG Wells is an awe-inspiring author that can transform the most boring theories into wonderful, breath-taking stories. Not that he did with the Invisible Man. That was a totally original, interesting idea created into a story.

The Little Prince, The Princess Bride, The Hitchhiker's Guide, Dorian Gray, Things Fall Apart, Love in the Time of Cholera & The Mists of Avalon are, in my opinion, probably the most readable of these. The Little Prince, Princess Bride, and Mists of Avalon are all fantasy; Hitchhiker's Guide is comedy sci-fi; Love in the Time of Cholera is romance/magical realism; and Things Fall Apart is more of a classic narrative.

Number 11! That guy's one of my greatest inspirations as a writer. What I mean is, he keeps me going; I don't steal his ideas.

Answer 4

I liked the Three Theban Plays, especially Antigone, but they're kinda depressing. The Picture of Dorian Gray is good too, but The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is definitely my favorite out of the list. The only one I really don't recommend is Moby Dick (bored me almost to death).

Answer 7

HG Wells is a good author so maybe one of his books. Also The Three Theban Plays was interesting, it's about a guy who kills his father and marries his mother and then he's king and everything is crazy
