I finished Round the World in Eighty Days this morning. The narrator didn't cease being annoying, but it was fairly entertaining.
I still prefer Journey to the Center of the Earth and Mysterious Island, though...
You're allowed to prefer one over the other! I am glad you enjoyed it.
My sister - have I mentioned this - gets to do a year of study in England. She just arrived and is homesick of course because that's the sort of person she is; but she says she's the only one of the international students who understands the accents. We figure it's from how many times she watched "Lord of the Rings"...
