REPLY: I myself before adolescence not merely read Verne but collected him in
paperback (the I.O. Evans translations, of course, but that's where youth is
by definition foolish) -- my renewed interest in recent years, including
joining this Forum, is this an ember stirred back to flame rather than anything
truly novel.
