So I found a new favorite adventure book. Check out this classic from 1883, Treasure Island, a pirate tale you can't go through life without. Trust in me and my multiple viewings of Pirates of the Caribbean.

@IamYourEvilOne much obliged.

TheNeedleDrop brought me here. I read this in sixth grade. I loved it. I might have read a version worded for kids, though. I love your review, man! You need more views. You are funny and informative. You seem to humbly and interestingly offer a service that most others do not. I hope that makes the difference in your success. Review Witness, by Whitaker Chambers or Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.

@ryanellis000 haha looked them both up, those are HUGE books! I'll probably have to save those for in-between when I finish my weekly read. Got anything else the general population would consider "classic" that's less than 300 pgs?

Lucky I've read this before punk! I'd be so mad right now. I was also impressed when I read this story. What a freakin adventure, right?

I wasn't sure how to feel about it though, because I didn't know how much of it was invented in this book and how much was just fact, or whatever. Like obviously Long John Silver and Black Beard, but what about the x marks the spot, or the language, or peg legs, was it all invented in his mind? Wasn't some of this real stuff? Pirates DID exist, how much is RLS?

@emmaleighbug by what I looked into it, it was almost all in his head. I'm sure he derived some from stories he had heard though, and all stories eventually lead back to "the truth."

He wrote a chapter per day! This book is on top of my bookcase right next to Gulliver's Travels (both old editions). Those are the only two books 'on top' of the bookcase.

Love Dean's "Saturday Sit Down" ! He's smart. He's funny. Encourages me to re-read the classics.

That book is so boring. period.

Ha, the beginning made me laugh. Indeed most people seem to be unaware that novels existed before 1990, and that vampires and werewolves were not always a constant fixture in them. Lord of the Rings might as well be ancient literature
