I was surprised to find myself so gripped by Around the World in Eighty Days, but fear not! We are back to the good old "19th century author goes on a long digression" story with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. If you want long lists of scientific names of sea creatures you have no mental image for, this is your book!


I did enjoy it though, almost entirely because of Captain Nemo. He's an utterly fascinating character like, I get it, if I was in the 19th century reading this book serialised I'd be queueing up round the block to get the next installment too

.



"Ah! it is a fine death for a sailor!" said Captain Nemo, at last. "A coral tomb makes a quiet grave; and I trust that I and my comrades will find no other."
