Do you like my hat?
Real talk, H.G. Wells was a fantastic author and his biggest hits are both immediately recognizable enough to be a performative conversation starter while also having the added bonus/hazard of potentially accidentally getting into it.
War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and The Invisible Man are all ones I’ve recently listened via Librivox (I linked the specific readers I listened to) during my commutes, but of course, my goal is to actually enjoy the books
I really love journey to the centre of the earth.

House of Leaves. That way if anyone notices you’re holding it upside down they’ll just think you’re really into it. And if anyone asks you what it’s about you can say “I have no fucking clue what’s happening, there’s a house I think?” and you’ll be correct.
Um. I think it’s pretty easy to understand, but it’s all a meta-narrative with an unreliable narrator.
The narrative devices are quite ingenious.
I love the book, just gently poking fun.
I watched a video essay on MyHouse.wad. I’ve never played Doom or read House of Leaves. Now I don’t need to do either.
Did any of Chuck Tingle’s books get physical releases?

Print them out on computer paper and staple your own!
But make sure you shake your head the whole time so people know you disagree with irrational numbers.
If you’re on a bus, read the novelization of Speed.

Speed.
