pickThis classic starts off slow but then I found myself listening until 1:30am to see what would happen 🤣 I really enjoyed it and I‘m happy it was on my poster so that I could experience the islands mysteries 🥰

pickI've seen the movie with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. While the movie was fun and adventurous, the book was definitely better. It's amazing to be so wrapped up in the lives of the characters while being given facts of the flora, fauna , and even making gunpowder alternatives. This is a book of the triumph of the human soul in its desire to become the master of its environment. Well with thtoe time to read.
I've never read this!! Time to remedy that oversight
A Jules verne novella i had never heard about but recommended by a friend :)
There, finally they lived happily, united in the present as they had been in the past; but they never forgot their island, an island to which they had come bereft and naked, an island that for four years had met their every need, an island of which there now remained only a small slab of granite lashed by the Pacific waves, the tomb of a man who was once Captain Nemo!

Nothing, do you say? Nothing, perhaps, but a charming woman, who—improbable as it may appear— made him the happiest of men.
Truly would you not, for less than that, make the tour of the world?

Did I not also live this unnatural life for ten months? Thus, to that question asked six thousand years ago by Ecclesiastes, “That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?” only two men now have the right to answer: Captain Nemo and myself.

We need scarcely mention that her uncle was the illustrious Professor Hardwigg, corresponding member of all scientific, geographical, mineralogical, and geological societies of the five quarters of the globe.

pickWhat a pleasurable book to read! I just loved traveling around the world with Philéas Fogg and Passepartout. A lot happens in these pages: misunderstandings, adventures, funny encounters, etc. And there is a lot of wit and humor, with also many surprises. It also educates the reader in an entertaining way about time, rules of physics, etc.
