Status Updates From Robinson Crusoe (Chiltern C...

Amazed at this book's quality. Written in the 1700's, it holds up today in 2026. The first 10% is interesting, if a bit slow. The next 75% is pitch perfect and somehow is very detailed without getting bogged down. The last 15% is a necessary wrap up for the story arc, and a bit "whatever", but overall, there is a reason this book is a classic.

The temporality of this novel is well within alignment of others in its time, being, that they seemingly decide to leap in time without a steady record of time passing.
But it is wholly appropriate in this novel seeing that he is stuck on an island with little way to keep track of time.

Men really need to be stranded on an island for decades to realise shit women figured out when they were 12
