Just finished reading "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea" by Jules Verne, the father of science fiction. It is an absolutely amazing and fascinating story of Captain Nemo and his "Nautilus" and his adventures under the sea. Never a dull moment despite the heavy usage of scientific terminology.

Around the World in 80 Days
Hi All, Just finished reading "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne. The back cover says Jules Verne is called father of science fiction. I did not find any S/F here, more of travel writing. The fact that Phileas Fogg achieved his mission in less than honourable circumstances make it a 2/5 rating.
