It's been a while since I've read any books, so I'll go with my memory here:

Nobody's boy (Sans Famille) 1878, by Hector Malot

Boo hoo.

From the Earth to the Moon, and a trip around it (De la terre à la lune - Autour de la lune) 1865 - 1870, by Jules Verne

Awesome.

Journey to the center of the Earth (Voyage au centre de la Terre) 1864, by Jules Verne

Why isn't the movie as awesome as the book??? WHY???

Around the world in 80 days (Le tour du monde en quatre-vingt jours) 1873, by Jules Verne

Haven't seen the movies, and I won't, the book is great, end of story.

20000 leagues under the sea (Vingt mille lieues sous le mers) 1870, by Jules Verne

There's no way any movie adaptation can do this book justice. No way.

Captain Fracasse (Le Capitaine Fracasse) 1863, by Théophile Gautier

Interesting, though long and chockful of details and descriptions. It's like eating a good sponge cake, with too much rum in it.

1984, 1948 by George Orwell

This should be a must-read for everyone in this day and age. I just couldn't put it down.

I'll add more books later on.

I think I like the movie better.

I do, too, but I enjoy reading the book, I think it's pretty good. I think I'll read it again this summer.
