Yes, it feels good to finally read books you lied about reading in high school. And yes, it feels good to check off another classic, this being the first English language novel. But ugh what a bore! Which was made worse by constant racism (lots of depictions of people of color as barbarians, savages, etc.). Pretty sickening, especially Crusoe’s relationship with Friday. The ONLY thing this had going for it was Simon Vance as a narrator.
