My experience is similar to Ross'. I read J.V. when a young teenager in
Texas, it sparked something in me and I went searching for other J.V.
books. I still have the books I was able to find. I re-read Journey to the
Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, and Around the Moon every
few years, and when I re-read them, I am partly transported back to when I
first read them, the same awe and captivation I had the first time reading
them.

TTFN,
David
