Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

5.0

I was tempted to round down to four stars because the book became rather dull after his rescue. I listened to an audio version of this book and I'm really glad that I did. Sure, there are problematic things in it if we consider it from today's social lens. But it really is an amazing piece of work for the early 1700s. No wonder it has remained popular for centuries. Even some of the religious philosophizing could be of value today--such as not judging others' sins and appreciating what you have by knowing there are others who have far less.
