Robinson Crusoe


Robinson Crusoe
by Daniel Defoe
read: circa 1996
Guardian 1000 Novels

I had to read Robinson Crusoe as assigned summer reading before my junior year of high school.  It was my least favorite of all the books I had to read.  The plot outline - a mariner stranded on a desert island, relying on his wits to survive - sounds like an exciting story, but as I remember it largely consisted of lists of provisions.  Reading it was much less fun than going to the beach that summer.
