Currently reading this book called Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Verne. Some of you may or may not have heard it before. But I believe you might have watched the film starred by Steve Coogan and Jackie Chan, as master and man, respectively.

This one’s an ebook. So I got it downloaded onto my Blackberry Playbook. And it’s free! My favourite number.

Okay. The plot is basically similar. The master, an honourable English Gentleman, has accepted a challenge, deemed impossible by his colleagues, to travel around the world in 80 days, obviously, with twenty thousand pounds at stake. That amount of money is a hefty amount in those days, and even still today. But then again, the book is fictional. No rational minded idiot would have accepted such a bid.

So thank God such a person existed in the book. Otherwise, the book could have been called Can’t Be Bothered To Go Around the World At All. And it’d be a story about some fat, unattractive, middle-aged English bloke with no goals in life whatsoever.

I’m half way through it so far and loving every adventures in each pages. It’s a fun book to read. Especially if you like adventure. And reading. If you don’t, or just can’t be arsed to, just go and visit youtube as I’m sure you’d be able to spend your time productively there. Right.
