Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
by Jules Verne
Read: Jul 22-28, 2022
Genre: Science Fiction
This book is remarkably predictive and interesting. That said, Verne loves a fish – perhaps too much. Some sections are dragged out by his extensive description and scientific naming of marine fauna and flora. I’m sure it was appropriately impressive in 1872, though! I did find myself wanting to know how it would end, and was encouraged to read the final chapters after losing some interest.
