Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
I have something to confess, something that has been on my chest for almost twenty years now. I will now proclaim it openly to the world, and hopefully my guilt will be assuaged.When I was about twelve years old, my parents decided that I should read some "quality literature" during the summer. They bought a small stack of "classics" that I was supposed to read, one of which was Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.
I never read it.
There. It's out there. Not only did I not read it, but I didn't read half of the other books in the pile. And I told my parents I did. I even casually talked about some of the plot points that I particularly enjoyed: those from the jacket blurbs. They believed me, and I have had to lie ever since, whenever the titles come up. But I will lie no more! I never read Robinson Crusoe!

I had not been to either of your blogs before today, but will certainly bookmark them for future visits. I love what you are reading now!
I will join you in your confession. Although I've read (and loved) Moll Flanders, as well as Roxana, Robinson Crusoe was never a book that interested me enough to read it.
I also have never read Robinson Crusoe. I have no interest in reading it either.
