  Good adventure! If you like adventure, the H Rider Haggard books might be for you! Quick reads, good adventure, and great for a break from the daily grind.
  "She" is one of the best I've read. I posted this on 13 February 2009

• Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions finished

  Pretty flat I had heard good things about Flatland, but just really couldn't find much in it to make me want to continue the read. I did finish, but mostly because I'm stubborn. I posted this on 13 February 2009

• Around the World in 80 Days finished
• Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea finished
• King Solomon's Mines finished

  Great Read! I read this as escape literature -- mind breaks during busy days -- and loved it! It's a classic "pre-Indiana Jones" / "great white hunter" type of adventure -- enjoyable and a great mini-escape. I posted this on 13 February 2009
