My most recent finish is A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, 272 pages. The first half of this book was a huge drag to get through for me, but the second half really kept my interest when they actually started to describe what they were discovering. Being a zoologist myself, I couldn’t help but smile at all the terminology that I knew and loved.

Sort of a tangent, but I used to visit this homesteader quite often for an anthropological study and he would discuss his theory about people living at the center of the Earth. I think I found his inspiration. :D
