First off - My man Friday. I now know the origin of this term I’ve heard so often. I didn’t realize this book covered so much adventure outside of his years of seclusion on the island. I had no idea he returned to what ended up his inhabited island. He glides right over meeting his wife, having children, wife dying, putting children in care of others, and taking off on adventure once again. All of that would have been probably more interesting to me. But now I’ve read another long enduring classic and I’m sure I’m the better for it.
