Jules Verne was never recognised by the Academie Francais as a classic French author but we all know he's one of the best writers ever to put pen to paper. Around The World in 80 Days is one of his many classics and it has been gripping readers for 150 years. 󠁧󠁿🇫🇷✍️🚃🛳🌎💰 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads

Philip K Dick is known for his prescient, dystopian science fiction. He was filled with drugs and anxiety and, married 5 times, not an easy man to live with. But he was, on occasion, hilarious. 'The Eyes Have It' is a masterwork of sci fi humour - from a real dick. 󠁧󠁿🇺🇸💪👁🖤✋🤪 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads

Dwight D Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in 1944 wrote to the troops before D-Day in beautifully-worded missive to inspire victory. And he wrote a second (thankfully) unsent note to cover the potential for failure. Great writing at a time of immense stress. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇵🇱🇫🇷🇩🇪🪖 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads

E.M Forster wrote "A Room With A View" as a gentle observation of neurotic Edwardian-era British types on their Grand Tour of Italy. It is a wry amusing soap opera, beautifully written with great affection for all these twits. 󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧✍️⚜️🇮🇹🤪 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads

Jonathan Swift was a master of sustained sarcasm and satire. In 1729 he wrote "A Modest Proposal" about how to solve Irish poverty. There was nothing modest about his proposal and it remains a satirical classic nearly 300 years later. 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧✍️👶👄😜 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/nudiereads
