Default Is "Journey to the center of the Earth" a good book for beginner?
Hello,
I'm still beginner in English and I'm looking for book that I could enjoy to read (and listen an audiobook). I'm thinking about travelogue, so some book of Mark Twain would be good, but I don't know if a book from 1864 will be good to learn the contemporary language.
So, my question is - aren't books from XIX century too old to read for beginners? How much is their language archaic?
Greetings and sorry for errors - I still can't voice everything in English as well as I want, even with dictionary's help

I'm not quite sure what your level of English is, but George Orwell's Animal Farm is used in many ESL classes around the world. It has a high level of interest, so that makes it perhaps a bit easier to read than some from the 19th Century. Another good choice might be a translation of St-Exupéry's The Little Prince.
