Ah, I loved it! The fascinating Mr. Fogg, the humorous Passepartout, the relentless Mr. Fix.This book saved my mornings the week I read it. Even at 05.50, I could laugh aloud on the bus.Yes, it is yet one more of those "Britain helps the world by colonization because where would India be without western morals"-books, but I don't really care. As it was written in a time when this was the way one thought, I can't blame the author for that. It makes the story more interesting, we should all try to understand how people thought in earlier times, and, through that, understand why they acted as they did (and learn from it so we don't repeat past mistakes).I just have one question: What is it with British people in the 1800's, and brandy? How is it that brandy would help for everything? How is it logical that a woman, being drugged, would be better with strong liquor?
