Robinson Crusoe - Book 4

Robinson Crusoe

1719

Written by Daniel Defoe

I am still trying to get through the 100 Classic Book Collection. I haven't made too much progress since January, but I have made it through 4 books now. 

It is amazing going back and reading these novels which I know so much about bu tI have never read. I knew the basic plot line of Robinson Crusoe, but it took reading the book to fill in the details. One thing that did amaze me while reading the book is the time span. I thought Crusoe was just shipwrecked for a few years, but it turns out he was stranded for most of his life. It is only in the later years that he encounters Friday.

100 Classic Book Collection - Nintendo DS

I just picked this up last week, but I do love it. Imagine having 100 novels (actually over 100 with the downloadable titles) available for reading on a single DS cartridge. The software allows you to choose font size for more comfortable reading and there is a fun little quiz that you can take to help make book selections. I might just post my thoughts on each novel as I get through them on this blog.

The books included range from plays by Shakespeare and classics from Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Jules Verne, and Victor Hugo. It contains many books that I have always wanted to read, but just never have had the chance. Now they are all together on a single cartridge at a great price.
