In between my being a forbiddingly stylish fashionista and an expertly trained chef, I also enjoy reading a great deal. You know where's a great place to get some good, old-fashioned reading done? Airports and planes. Both of these things are involved in my travels most of the time, so I get a lot of reading done. Recently, however, I've been more interested in buying clothes than buying magazines so I can just look at clothes. So I headed on over to Amazon to see what free books they had for their Kindle app and I came across this classic:
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. I wish I could give you a fun fact about the author or something, but I have nothing that pertains floating (haha!) in the vault of useless trivia in my head. But so much adventure! Plus, I read it so long ago that I no longer remember what happens at the end, so it's almost like I'm reading it for the first time again. Sure, there's some technical mumbo-jumbo on behalf of the narrator, but I mostly skim over those parts since understanding the physics of a submarine isn't actually necessary in understanding the plot.
Are there any classic novels you like to revisit now and again? Another favorite (although I do always remember what happens in this one) is Wuthering Heights, with all that unrequited love and such.
