Nooo clue. I think the editor had a bunch of coworkers send in their favorite books and put it all together. My biggest problem- Journey to the Center of the Earth is on there but not 20000 Leagues. If I had to put a Verne on the list, it wouldn't be Journey (although it is fun).

Here's the book on amazon:

A lot of people had major complaints with it. But again, I'm doing this for fun. There were a ton of books on there I'd never even heard of, sad to say.
