From the Earth to The Moon, by Jules Verne.
Because I'm a Jules Verne virgin. Er. Was.
You heard me. I've never finished Verne before.
This doesn't mean I don't have a Verne collection. Oh, I do. I just haven't read it.
So, I got quoted a funny bit in Earth to the Moon, and handed it, and like any good reader with a book in her hand, took it home and read it.
You should too.
