I really like that story and how the stranded survivors manage their lifes and the how the whole group evolves.
I have never read any Verne but was never really interested in 20,000 Leagues.

However, this book looks very interesting, as I mentioned earlier in the thread that one of my favourite classics is "Robinson Crusoe". I love good "stranded on an island" type stories.

This makes me even more interested, at least in his non-sci-fi stuff.
