Jules Verne is often considered the father of science fiction, and his work, including Journey to the Centre of the Earth, has been a major influence on many other books. Students may want to explore the Pellucidar series, by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Borroughs has said that Journey to the Centre of the Earth was a great inspiration for the world he creates. Other great books to explore are Jules Verne's other works, especially those in his Extraordinary Voyages series, which includes Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days.
