Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne

Goodreads Blurb: One of the most celebrated tales of all time, Around the World in 80 Days is part high-octane thriller, part fascinating fantasy travelogue. Pragmatic gambler Phileas Fogg has made a gentlemanly wager to the members of his exclusive club: that he can circle the world in just 80 days, right down to the minute.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: A book that has both aged terribly and was fair for its day. Excellent – I love books like that, the cognitive dissonance always wakes you up a bit. Yet the thing I found most shocking of all … not a hot air balloon in sight. And no, I’m not marking that as a spoiler, you should go in knowing that. Tv has lied to us.
