Around the World in Eighty Days
by Jules Verne
by Jules Verne
It seems a shame to read about about travelling the world and not learn much about the culture, but I imagine that if he'd tried, Verne would have ended up describing buildings in tedious detail to create a book as difficult to read as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Taken as it was meant - as an adventure story - it's fast paced with great characters. Around the World deserves its status as a classic.
