I enjoyed Around the World in Eighty Days. It’s a very charming and entertaining story.
The protagonist, Phileas Fogg, pulls out all the stops to win a £20,000 bet that he can journey around the world in eighty days. Of course, every sort of delay imaginable befalls him along the way. Will he make it in time to win the bet?
Jules Verne’s stories are great - always entertaining and imaginative. I plan to read Journey to the Center of the Earth soon.

My favorite Jules Verne. Despite the often flat characterization and sometimes comic representation of cultures, I believe Verne provides a good snapshot of what it was like to travel in the 19th century, at least as a rich man, and gives a good sense of the biases around different cultures from a European perspective. As far as the plot is concerned, it is also more exciting than most Verne novels, as it has the benefit of a focused goal (though most of the obstacles are easily overcome).
