Did you notice the Google logo today? If not, go see it now. Today’s logo was designed to commemorate Jules Verne’s 183rd birthday. The logo is actually somewhat interactive today as you can adjust the image using a lever included in the drawing. Google’s blog post about the logo reminded me that Verne’s works are available to read for free through Google Books and other hosts of public domain works.  I’ve embedded below Around the World in Eighty Days and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
