I personally like Jules Verne best when he's busy describing his characters' travels, rather than beating me over the head with painstaking scientific explanations. Around the World in 80 Days was one of my favorite books as a child; 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was probably one of my least favorite (it's taken me 30 years, and I still haven't actually finished it.) I really liked Journey to the Center of the Earth! The three characters are great, and Verne plays them off each other so well. This isn't exactly a page-turner, but it's light and (perhaps sometimes unintentionally) silly and enjoyable.
