Two Years Before the Mast subtitled "a Personal Narrative of Life At Sea" I think Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is worth bringing up in this thread. The book has its charms, but the movie ditches a lot of the travellogue aspect for a fairly decent exploration of the morality of violence. (Or at least pretty solid for a mid-century Disney film!) Captain Nemo ... ... in the 60s. From what I hear, the movie provides enough atmosphere to keep the proceeding from becoming campy.

Jane Eyre I just finished 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne today at lunchtime. Great book. If anybody wants to read it, just make sure you get the Miller and Walter's 1993 Translation published by The Naval Institute Press.
I'm going to start The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex ... Finished 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
I'm going to start The True Meaning of Smekday next. Wow! 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a great read. I'm starting The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex. Neither touchstone is working.
I thought I'd drop a note regarding Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea which I started shortly after finishing Moby Dick. Verne is a little less digressive than Melville, but his digressions are a little less interesting because they're not really working on theme or character the ... Finished Candide or OPtimism the other day and have started my first Classic - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.

I envy you discovering Dorothy Sayers and having all her wonderful books ahead of you!
I have just started 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. I've picked 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. So far so good. This is the Miller/Walter transltion of 1989-1991 - apparently earlier translations were incomplete and misleading. Page 42 and it's a great read so far. ... stranger before the final confrontation with the whale is pitch perfect.
Shortly after finishing Moby Dick, I started on Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (another "ocean voyage") which seems to be paying a certain degree of homage to Moby Dick. A few examples: A sum of $2000 is set aside ... Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss

SO where should 20,000 leagues under the sea be filed?
Currently it sorts as 20
rather than 20000
or the probable ideal option of twe - this latter might be a bit difficult to code though?
... fiction and graphic novels. I've read so many of the books referenced in this installment (most obviously Dracula, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Invisible Man, but also She, King Solomon's Mines, Sherlock Holmes stories, and other more offhand references). Edited: I forgot D ... 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - Jules Verne I don't like Jane Eyre but it is certainly more entertaining reading the 20000 leagues. The 'action' parts have all the same dullness as Jane, but between the action bits you get endless descriptions of fish. this is actualy worse. I know its hard to believe but its true. Just bought Jane Eyre after reading about it in this thread. Would start reading it after finishing my current book (Twenty thousand leagues under the sea). oh, of course - 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne was my first science fiction book... how could I forget.

Having to do with Andersonville Civil War prisoners making a hot air balloon to escape and land on this deserted island where Nemo just happened to park the Nautilus while he is ... I think I start having trouble with Phobos's list about number 28 as of those listed to that point, it is a fantasy. 20,000 leagues under the sea has some elements of science fiction to it, but I see it as more of a fantasy in these modern times. Also saw Alice in Wonderland in the list, again ... 20000 is perhaps the book I wish I hadn't bothered to struggle through, I really didn't care and still don't what types of fish and coral he saw out the window.
