Just finished 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Nice story, but for Christ sake every page has at least 4 paragraphs of what every damn type of fish is called and what color they are. I actually started skipping sections so I could get to the plot development.
Interestingly, Jules Verne, in 1869, makes a number of specific observations that I see verified in articles in Scientific American that I happen to be reading in 2010.
