Treasure Island
by Robert Louis Stevenson
I really liked Treasure Island. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would, which might not be the fairest of statements, but it's a true one. I vaguely recalled reading this story when I was younger and not liking it at all, but going back and reading it now was a rather fun adventure. It is in no way a deep story, but it's a decently enjoyable one (once you get passed all the pirate speak). Pirates, treasure, adventure on the high seas, treachery, a crazy man that has been stranded and alone for 3 years - it's all there, complete with gun fights and a little bit of swashbuckling.
The only tricky part is the language, but if you're willing to work through pirate speak, it's a fun little book that goes by quickly and goes down well. I recommend it for some late summer reading.
