"What is more like love

than the ocean? You can 

play in it, drown in it... 

it can be clear and bright 

enoughto hurt your eyes, 

or covered in fog, hidden

behind a curve of roads

and then suddenly there in

full glory. It's waves come 

like breaths, in and out

body stretched to forever

in it's possibilities, 

and yet, it's heart lies

deep, not fully knowable,

inconceivably majestic"

-Deb Calleti

Journey to the Centre of the Earth

As far as classics go, this book (along with To Kill a Mockingbird) is my favorite. Its action packed but somewhat slow since it was written by Jules Verne in the late 1800's in a different language. Jules Verne has also written other famous books such as Around the World in Eighty Days (which I didn't like as much) and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (which I have not read yet). Anyway I would also like to say that the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is NOT, let me repeat: NOT this book. That movie is about people who read the book and try to see if you can actually make it to the center of the earth.

A good review from a Barnes and Noble customer: Jules Verne's book, Journey to the Center of the Earth shows our ever known love of not only gaining more knowledge, but our craving to exploring the unknown. The journey of Professor Otto Lindenbrock, his assistant and nephew, Axel Lindenbrock; and their guide Hans from an extinct volcano to the center of the planet. It is a book that is truly a classic.
