Ok so they've gone downwards, and for a while I thought this whole book would just be about rocks. About halfway through the book Jules starts cooking? Genuinely think he might have started taking drugs at this point.

Also I love my copy of the book, the translators have fact checked the measurements:
"we are under England"*
*the travellers are under the Pyrenees if the league=3miles

Aka Jules can't do maths

This book should be called a journey to Iceland

I'm starting to think it would be funny if it turns out there isn't a hole in the volcano/they get boiled alive in magma/something as equally anticlimactic, but I also am 99% certain that isn't the case because I've read the book before and I feel like I would remember that.

Also I want to be one of those 19 stinky Icelandic children

Read this bit on the train to Norwich, I've been looking out the window and I'm always surprised about how pretty East Anglia is 🥺 in a sort of weird grey flat way, but still cute

Updating my reading progress from yesterday.
I read most of this in Faculty, New Street, my favourite Birmingham coffee shop, would recommend.

Also disappointed they haven't in fact, started their journey to the centre of the earth.

"Are you afraid to be put into a state of fusion?"

Honestly that is a very valid concern about going to the centre of the earth, so fuck you professor

Adding bibliomania to my vocabulary

I want to be a learned miser when I grow up ✨
