Some precious lessons I learnt from Robinson Crusoe *Spoilers*
- NEVER EVER travel with Robinson Crusoe. He brings bad luck. Even when he only PLAN on travelling on a ship and finally doesn't, it sinks
- Time flies when you're having fun. Or goats. Lots of them.
- How to treat a fellow castaway:
a. Black => Slave.
b. White => With a boat? NO. => Meh... Subordinate. / YES => BFF!!
I know, I know: you should not use modern standards when reading classics... ...more

A young man gets shipwrecked, all alone, on a deserted island. Though he is able to salvage quite a bit from the ship before it sinks completely, he is still left to try to survive in the wilderness without any human contact. This book is certainly marked by the time in which it was written, when ideas about slavery and philosophy were very different from our modern view. This may put off modern readers.
