Read September 2018.
My second reread of H.G. Wells this year is the seminal War of the Worlds.
This is a book that everyone knows something about - ie. Martians try to invade the Earth, but are eventually beaten by the tiniest of micro-organisms, that they cannot even see.
This is a classic of the genre, but it does not hold up so well as The Time Machine, because it is difficult to imagine a world where people are so blissfully unaware of what is happening just along the road from them in this day and age.
