Kokoro or Ragged-Trousers. Angel Island is interesting and depressing: some men are shipwrecked on an island of winged women, spend the rest of the books subjugating and ruining the women's lives, then cut off their wings.World Set Free is also interesting but minor Wells.

Roussel far and away the most interesting author on this list.

Would be pretty awesome if the book was called Komodo.
