I've been reading the Frontier in Space novelisation, and I had to post this. They have the same favourite author.
It's a fun detail that the Doctor reads the Time Machine, and the Master reads War of the Worlds. It perfectly captures their dynamic.
The Master may say that he doesn't like Earth, but clearly the Doctor's influence has some effect on him.
