Yes, Jules Verne is very readable. I have read several of his novels and also several of H.G. Wells’.
Wells had some great ideas but he is tough reading. Maybe whoever translated Verne was just good.

The longstanding standard translation of ‘20,000 Leagues’ was revealed to be inaccurate and lazy. I just read a new translation by an Englishman who is a French expert. Excellent.
