I read Jules Verne, Around the World in 80 Days (1873) - a wonderful romp, made all the more delightful by the extraordinary choices of detail Verne included in the interests of educating the younger reader.

[Robin P, Orbicular Mod]

I HATE this prompt. I had to look up which years were prime numbers and then look at books I had to see when they were published. That doesn't interest me at all! I ended up using Astrophysics for People in a Hurry from 2017. I read a lot of classics, both 19th century and 20th century. And a lot of contemporary books I like are set in earlier eras.

I read some of everything, older and newer fiction and nonfiction, contemporary and classics. I did a #20classicsin2020 challenge this year; I'm running behind but I'm almost done. (I'll use some quick kids classics over Christmas break if I haven't hit 20 yet!)
