This was hilarious--a family of aliens pass for human; they have
a time machine which (if I remember correctly) is the bathroom
of their house. The trouble starts when the son produces some
interesting relics in show and tell at school
The Dechronization of Sam Magruder -- George Gaylord Simpson
The opposite in tone--scientist in the future tests his time
machine, it works all too well and he is back in the Jurassic
age with no hope of ever returning to his own time. Quite
existential

my next bibliography will deal with time travel, also back and forth between
alternate worlds. Soooo, not only H.G. Wells and Jack Finney, but Emma Bull
and Craig Shaw Gardner and Tim Powers. Does anyone have a favorite volume
to suggest? If should have some action spent in another time or world, i.e.
Faerie or a parallel time. Tell me one you really like..thanks DEB WARNER
