Treasure Island
by Robert Louis Stevenson
The story is very enjoyable and we owe a huge chunk of modern pirate lore to this classic. Long John Silver is one of the greatest villains ever written. Tons of modern villains seem cast in his honor without even realizing it. Despite these huge pluses, it doesn't save the book from being incredibly boring at times and genuinely difficult to read at others. I respect it for the path it paved, but it's one better told in summaries rather than from source.
