This is tough. I found a few on a Wikipedia list here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category...
The Sleeper Awakes by H.G. Wells is one I haven't read, but we've read several Wells novels now.
I'm all for A Princess of Mars, but it's hard to read just it. The next 2 books, The Gods of Mars, & The Warlord of Mars complete the story arc & they're short. Otherwise, they end on dreadful cliffhangers. All were published in the correct decade, too.
While The Night Land sounds interesting (I have even downloaded it to read) I have to go with We as my pick for this month. Mostly because I just finished London's The Iron Heel (thanks to November's nominations) and need to get some balance to my dystopia's. :)
Jeff, We was published in 1924, it will most definitely be on the next poll (and hopefully win, I really want to read it too).I am definitely down for The Night Land. I read The House on the Borderland last year and loved it.

I thought I had saw that it was published in 1920 but I see that it was written in 1920 and published in 24, my mistake. Therefore I recant that nomination and cast my vote for Night Land also.
I hadn't realized that it was written in 1920. I wonder if it was in magazines initially before being published as a novel.
