What Are Some Good Books By Jules Verne?

I have read 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Around the World in 80 Days, Journey to the Centre of The Earth, and I just finished The Mysterious Island. What are some other really good books by him? I would prefer if you had already read them or are reading them before you suggest any.

    "From the Earth to the Moon" is the only other one I recall. To be honest, I have read these all, but the only one I really liked was "The Mysterious Island", which is strange because it's a sequel to "20,000 leagues under the sea", which I didn't like.

    You've read the most common and because you're a fan, you should try some of the lesser-known books. Here are the ones I'd recommend if you liked the ones you listed.

    o Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon

    o Facing the Flag

    o Master of the World

    o The Adventures of a Special Correspondent

    o The Moon-Voyage

    o The Survivors of the Chancellor

    o The Underground City

    I have two favorite Jules Verne books, Around the World in 80 Days and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

  • 1 decade ago

    Those are the only Jules Verne books I've read.

    Here are some similar books I liked:

    War of the Worlds - H.G. Wells

    The Lost World - Arthur Conan Doyle

    Scaramouche - Rafael Sabatini

    The Invisible Man - H.G. Wells

    The Time Machine - H.G. Wells

    Frankenstein - Mary Shelley

    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson

    Foundation - Isaac Asimov

    The Prisoner of Zenda - Anthony Hope

    They're all science fiction and/or adventure. Hope you like 'em.

    This isn't Verne, but if you like his books I think you might like H.G. Wells.....try his book, "The Time Machine"
