Robinson Crusoe
by Daniel Defoe
I finally read Robinson Crusoe, which may be the first ever English-language novel. That alone is impressive, so the uneveness of the pacing is forgivable. Crusoe is quite the daredevil, for, no matter how many times he is shipwrecked, he keeps getting back on a boat. This book is so interesting as a sort of time capsule of English thought in the late 1600s. It gets much more philosophical than I expected, particularly on the subject of God, but I really enjoyed those parts. The ending teased about a sequel; I wonder what ever came of that.
