This explains why it still sits on my shelf unread, I never seem to be in the mood to start it.

(I'm not Jon, but what they hell ...) HarryT's version is the version I've read most recently - hence, when I mentioned it earlier, I used the title: 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas. It was, as usual, an excellent production. As for comparison with the earlier versions, there was too much time between for my memory to be reliable, but it seemed to me that this newer version was longer and dryer - more recitals of creature classifications and so forth - than I had remembered. It was very much science fiction.
