Gotta go for Jules Verne for my personal fave which is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It feels so much like youre being drawn in for this grand journey into the world abroad, like someone telling you about this amazing vacation, where things go a little tilt.

Its also got a overly loyal man servany ala Sam Gamgee in it. It features the odd mention of savages which isn't great. And everyone has that weird old timey nationalism where people are brought to tears moreso than merely watching someone die but because they were a fellow countryman.

And then a lot of the book is also "and we visited this known geographical sea place and then this other geographical sea place you've read in an encyclopedia, and then yet another geographical place."

Still good fun though
