This is just the sort of book a 1950s nerd like me would read. ( )

So this book is old.

Mostly you can tell from the writing style, but of course also from how outrageously racists some sentences are. It's all the British are so good, all the others are savages, blah blah. Luckily there isn't too much of that, but eh, still.

But it does include a lot of tropes that I like: betrayal and found family and rich people throwing their money at stuff that are technically impossible and suceeding despite all odds and stuff. So that's good, even though I never really feel I get close to any characters when reading classic-classics.

The last line was cheesy, but I liked it because apparently I am cheesy. :P ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, the house in which Sheridan died in 1814.
In the year 1872, No. 7 Savile Row, Burlington Gardens -- the house where Sheridan died in 1814 -- was occupied by Phileas Fogg, Esq.
(William Butcher's translation).
In the year 1872, the house at number 7 Savile Row, Burlington Gardens - the house in which Sheridan died in 1814 - was lived in by Phileas Fogg, Esq., one of the oddest and most striking members of the Reform Club, even though he seemed determined to avoid doing anything that might draw attention to himself.
(Penguin 2004 edition translation)
