Verne, Jules

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, 1870. I owned this book for many years before finally reading it in 2005. I found it quite entertaining. I had just seen the 1950's movie and found it to be good as well. One complaint about the book is that for the most part nothing much happened. Just scenery after scenery, etc., as new regions of the world's oceans were explored. Still entertaining though.
Journey to the Centre of the Earth, 1864. I had seen two different versions of this on film, and liked them both. I finally bought and red the book (a British version, thus the spelling of Centre vs. Center). Just like 20,000 Leagues, it was slow going, but still quite entertaining. I read it in July 2006.
