Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
by Jules Verne
Well THAT was boring. It took me 7 weeks to read this book so you may think it was a tome but no, it was 245 pages long. Maybe if I was a marine biologist or a nautical engineer I would have found it much more interesting. This was the English translation from 1873 which was very dry and unembellished, hung up on botanical names and specifications of the ship. I blame the translator and not Jules Verne. If you’re interested in reading it I recommend you seek out modern translations, or maybe just watch the Kirk Douglas movie.
