  That is so amazing. It is even more amazing how a book can change a
person's life. When I read "A Journey to the Center of the Earth" some 12
years ago (I'm 17 now) I wanted to go to Iceland and follow Verne's step to
Snaeffelsyokul. Since then, Iceland has been the country of my dreams and
I've been wanting to visit it for a long time. Now that I'm 17 that goal
seems a bit closer and I hope that I'll be able to undertake that journey
this summer or next summer.
