The Old Man and the Sea

This book was really good.  It made me hungry.

It was about an old man who had no luck at fishing.

He goes deep sea fishing and catches a marlin. The fish was as big as our living room (19 feet).

The sword was really big.

Around the World in 80 Days

The story is about a guy who is a neat freak, he hates being late and one day, he makes abet for 20,000 pounds to go around the world in 80 days.  Back then, there were no airplanes so he had to take steamboats, trains, elephants, horses, and a rickshaw. 

It took 79 days to go around the world.

I liked this book because it had different cultures, transportation and money.
