Classic science fiction, masquerading as a classic fiction book. Also turned into movies, so many people familiar with this story.

A great deal of fun! This classic from 1873 manages to follow Phileas Fogg around the world, with delays and rescues and drama, and still provide a twist at the end. Highly recommend!
