The Angel of the Revolution by George Griffith (towards the very top of the list) has been completed:

I was just looking through some of the PG stuff we don't yet have and I saw two Ray Cummings books we don't seem to have:
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22527/22527-h/22527-h.htm (Beyond the Vanishing Point)
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/20551/20551-h/20551-h.htm (The White Invaders - this is a novelette.)
EDIT: This is just on 30,000 words, so about 3.5 - 4 hours final listening time, I think.

I wish you'd start on the post-'22 detective pulp -- it can't all be still under copyright.

I prefer Science Fiction and have far more of it than I can actually work.

That's what I was trying to say. It's been fun having some as magazines, when they were written that way and it gives a feel of how it was with the Readers Corner and the "science facts" but I'm quite happy to be stopping at no. 20.gweeks wrote:Last one as a complete magazine.

Just came across " the British Barbarians" by Grant Allen(1848-1899) which is Time Travel pre H G Wells. It's on PG http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4340.
I haven't read it but I've listened to author books by the author and enjoyed them

I don't think anyone has mentioned The Social War of 1900 yet, possibly because it's often referred to as THE WORST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL EVER WRITTEN. Seriously. Even the Wikipedia page describes it as "[c]ommercially unsuccessful... noted for its lack of literary merit and the repugnance of the ideas it advances." So much for that so-called lack of editorial bias!
I won't lie... a perverse part of me wants to take this one on as a solo. It sounds absolutely vile and riotous and I kinda want to record every last chapter from it.
The best part? This book comes in two flavors... novel and play form! I'm not kidding!

I'm probably the only person really, really excited about this horrible book.
EDIT: By the way, I might do this as a group project sometime in the future... unless someone else is interested in this?

I like that the play was "Printed but not published by the author at his medical institute". I have to admit, it's intriguing.
