Wow. I loved that book! The wonder and mystery was portrayed very well. It doesn't feel dated either; given the age and the advances in tech that we have had since it was written it seems like most science fiction starts to feel long in the tooth but this one holds up well.

Now for King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard - another classic I have never read before. This one is from HarryT's omnibus (volume 1 at least).
