These tales were amazing in that they were way ahead of their time. Jules Verne, obviously, had a scientific mind, which I, unfortunately, do not share. That made some of the reading laborious for me in Twenty Leagues and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Too many calculations for my poor mind to follow, even if I wanted to. That is most likely why I enjoyed Around the World in Eighty Days most.

I had bought this heavy volume years ago and last year started reading in the middle since a friend of mine was talking about the classic From the Earth to the Moon. I'm finally done reading and now I can finally say I read Jules Verne and am a fan as well.
