Thanks for telling me, davtay. I like writing short reviews so that I can keep track of what I read and my reaction to it, and when I started this project I thought that if I wrote slightly longer reviews and put them together it wouldn't be much work and it might be useful for some Verne fans (or even for someone who wants to try a Verne book for the first time). And if someone comments and we can talk a bit about Verne or some of the books, so much the better.
Most of Verne's best-known books are from the first part of his career, so I'm interested in seeing what happens when I get to the little-known books, which of them I'll think are worth reading and which are not that good. Is The Village in the Treetops worth the time of a Verne fan? If I finish the project, that's the kind of question I'd like to answer (in a necessarily subjective manner, but at least speaking from the position of having read them all).
