Robinson Crusoe | Daniel Defoe

All these things, with some very surprising incidents in some new adventures of my own, for ten years more, I may perhaps give a farther account of hereafter.

Robinson Crusoe (Penguin Classics) | Daniel Defoe

so-so

A wild ride. First a lot of things happen in very little time, before he reaches the island; then nothing really happens for ages, is basically Bear Grylls telling you how he survives in the wild, but I'm not sure that Defoe had any experience (this is actually a compliment, I enjoyed this part). When Friday comes in there's a bit more happening, some good reflections but overall too much religion. Then suddenly the amount of people coming ⬇️

nanuska_153 to the island. There are not too many characters in the book, but they are: Robinson Crusoe,Friday (Robinson never bothers to learn his real name),two unnamed dogs,A PARROT CALLED POLL,Friday's dad (unnamed),the Spaniard,the Captain,and then the only British man with a name is also ROBINSON. I found this so funny. The fact that he has a full ship under his control and not only abandons the other Spaniards but he leaves them with some criminals xD 1y

nanuska_153 The last 20 pages that make no sense, but they are there to provide more evidence about why women are right to choose a bear over a man. I give it a So-So because I was more happy to finish it than I was to read it, but I'm happy I did #RandomClassics @TheAromaofBooks 1y

TheAromaofBooks What even was that ending!? 😂 Thank you for reading with me!! 1y

nanuska_153 @TheAromaofBooks I think he was trying to introduce the cliffhanger, but then he just hung himself... Also it killed me that because he can't shut up, he basically tells you all that happens in the second book in a single paragraph? He does it during all the book, spoils stories because he tells you what's going to happen later. "You'll see how funny when the parrot talks and scares me" People must have visited Defoe's house to get all the tea ? 1y

This book was honestly just peculiar. I enjoyed it - mostly - but some parts of it just left me scratching my head a bit. I really enjoyed the parts on the island and reading about him creating a life there. But then it felt like the ending went a bit off the rails, and then it was almost like he was like, “you know what, never mind, I'll just write a second volume“ and that's the end! 😂 Still, as a book widely acclaimed as “the first novel“ ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) it's pretty good. But I'm not sure I'll be reading volume two haha

What did you all think? I couldn't believe he just left the Spaniards behind after all that?! And what was with the mountain crossing and the wolves?!? How does Friday know how to kill a bear?! The whole last like two or three chapters I was just going !?!?!? the whole time 😂 1y

TheAromaofBooks Thank you all for reading with me!!!

@BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks @CogsOfEncouragement @Cuilin @Lcsmcat @nanuska_153 @Read4life 1y

Cuilin I completely agree. It‘s like it came off the rails right at the end. Wolves, bears and snow, oh my! I know this is colonial propaganda, and Defoe was a special agent for the British government, but the first 2/3 were an enjoyable read. (edited) 1y

Read4life I agree with what you and @Cuilin have said. Enjoyable despite the 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 ending. 1y

Lcsmcat Yes! The bear and wolves were a bit over the top. And no @TheAromaofBooks , I won‘t be reading volume 2 either. 1y

nanuska_153 I agree it was a wild ride, I think I enjoyed Moll Flanders more. Definitely won't be reading the second one cause many parts left me like WTF, and there were parts that really dragged. Overall I am happy I read it, but I don't think I'll ever read it again 1y

CogsOfEncouragement I'm glad I read this classic, and now know the origin of “My man Friday“ but I will not tell my friends they need to read it. lol 1y

jenniferw88 I should have probably joined in with this one—sorry! I studied it at University, so I could have provided background information on Defoe and the religion/politics of the time. Have you read Gulliver's Travels as a buddy read yet? Let me know if you haven't done it for #randomclassics, and I'll join you. It's a good contrast book to Crusoe. 14mo

TheAromaofBooks @jenniferw88 - Definitely would love to have you along any time you want to jump in for a readalong!! Gulliver's Travels is on my list, but I don't know when I'll get to it, since I use a random number generator to decide what is coming next haha 14mo

You think you know this story, but there are still surprises along the way. If you accept the time in which it was written it‘s a fun adventure story, and Defoe carries the reader along for the ride. Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks and #randomclassics for getting me to read this. I‘m going on an outing with my mother and my granddaughter tomorrow, but I‘ll chime in to the discussion when I can.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I have to read the final section today so I'll try to post a final discussion spot tomorrow. It's been a wild ride 😂 You can definitely see how it went on to spawn other book ideas for other authors. 1y

I'm trying to catch up with this, just have to say that if I had a dog, that's all I'd write about in my diary. I WOULD NOT write about building a table instead.

(Picture of detector dog Jack that I saw the other day on the news and fell in love with cause he's obviously such a good boy)

Robinson Crusoe (Penguin Classics) | Daniel Defoe

(thru ch 14) Well, ol' Robby has really been through it! Over 20 years!!!! I had no idea this book covered so much time. I'm still enjoying this one although he does get quite long-winded sometimes with his philosophizing, and the writing can be repetitive as he tells you what's going to happen and then tells what happened lol Obviously his desire to “get a servant“ instead of “get a companion“ is troublesome. But I thought his conclusions about ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) whether or not he had the “right“ to judge the cannibals and kill them were quite interesting. I couldn't believe that he had been on the island for years and years and still hadn't gone all the way around it?? That feels like it would be high on my priority list haha It also seems a bit unlikely that another ship would wreck in the same spot and STILL no survivors!

Any thoughts? Are you enjoying this one or no? 1y

Cuilin I am absolutely enjoying it. I was also surprised at how long he was on the island. His introspection regarding anxiety after discovering the footprint, I thought was really interesting. “What ridiculous resolutions men take, when possessed with fear! “ When he said to Man Friday you can call me master though 🤨 1y

See All 11 Comments

CogsOfEncouragement I am enjoying it. I have been surprised by how much he talks about his relationship with God. Though that would be natural in the circumstances, I just wasn‘t expecting it. When he said “all our discontents about what we want, appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have” got me thinking about all sorts of things, and it is a good lesson for children to grasp. 1y

Lcsmcat @CogsOfEncouragement A good lesson for all of us to grasp, I think. 1y

Lcsmcat @Cuilin I had no idea he was there so long either. I was expecting maybe 5 years. 1y

TheAromaofBooks @Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement @Lcsmcat - Both great quotes from the book - his struggles with fear, faith, and gratitude are very interesting to me and much of what he says can be applied to not-deserted-island life 😂 Defoe was a Puritan and very involved in both church and politics during his lifetime, so it's not surprising that he gets a little on the preachy side from time to time, but I feel like overall it fits within the story. I suppose ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) being stranded for a couple decades with just yourself means you'd have plenty of time for introspective contemplation 😂 1y

Lcsmcat @TheAromaofBooks Yet as 2020 showed us, it doesn‘t always make one a better person. 😂 So, given his era, I suppose we ought to grant him a little grace on the racism. 1y

TheAromaofBooks @Lcsmcat - There is such a thing as too much contemplation time😂 I do think Defoe's reflections are interesting. He obviously believes Europeans to be superior to the “savages“ & only thinks of Friday as a potential servant, not as a friend - despite going on about his intelligence, kindness, & overall good qualities. But he's also very critical of the Spaniards & their treatment of native people. Definitely have to keep 1719 values in mind! 1y

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks @Lcsmcat @CogsOfEncouragement I realized that if he got to the island at the age of 20 and was there for 20 years, though he would technically be 40 would he be thinking like a 20-year-old? Development would be stunted in someways without society influencing it, perhaps? I‘m wondering about why I like him, yet there are many reasons not to. 🤷‍♀️ 1y

Robinson Crusoe | Daniel Defoe

(thru ch7) I'm actually really enjoying this one, even if our narrator is somewhat repetitive. I had no idea so many adventures happened to him before he even got shipwrecked!! It kind of fascinated me that he was a slave for a couple of years himself, but seemed to think nothing of heading to Africa to get some slaves of his own. Crazy.

So many random things that he just says casually and then moves on. “I had two elder brothers, one of which ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) was Lieutenant Collonel ... What became of my second brother I never knew“ ?!?!?! I mean, seriously??? You never knew?! At all?? 😂

This all feels rather dramatic and unlikely, but I'm finding it engaging reading for the most part. I liked when he wrote out his pros/cons list - he was way ahead of his time working on his mental health 😆

He got SO MUCH STUFF off the ship! It kind of felt like cheating, especially getting guns/ammo. ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) And all that crap, but not a single bucket!? That seemed unlikely haha

I could ramble on about parts I like and parts I find a bit ridiculous, but overall I'm enjoying this one (and definitely more than Pook's Hill!). Any thoughts any of you would like to share?

#RandomClassics @BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks @CogsOfEncouragement @Cuilin @Lcsmcat @nanuska_153 @Read4life 1y

BarkingMadRead So much has happened to him already! It‘s so nuts. I‘m loving all the shipwrecked stuff, seeing how he made things etc although our boy is a little paranoid! Dude. Build a door 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

See All 11 Comments

Lcsmcat I feel like the definition of “adventure story” is “man makes many poor decisions, but manages to live through them, and declares himself a hero.” And yes, getting stuff off the ship, (but not getting anything that holds water!) feels very contrived. 1y

CogsOfEncouragement @BarkingMadRead When he sets up to have to use the rope ladder rather than chance a door, I immediately thought but what if he gets sick or injured, HE will either be stuck outside or stuck inside. lol 1y

BarkingMadRead @CogsOfEncouragement yes!! Exactly! 1y

CogsOfEncouragement I thought it odd to mention the dog and cats so much later, and not as part of the narrative. Especially since the dog is “a trusty servant for many years”. The dog would make a huge difference in all of this imo. 1y

CogsOfEncouragement @Lcsma I hadn‘t thought of that. But considering how he thought he had taken every good thing off the ship only to realize he hadn‘t even properly looked in this area or that, and then the ship is gone kinda seems like the jokes we sometimes make that men can‘t find ketchup in the fridge. Like the author admits men suck at this. A woman would have done a much better job at getting necessities off that ship quickly and efficiently lol 1y

Cuilin I also thought getting so much from the ship was a bit convenient. I‘m enjoying the read. The writing is great viz it‘s descriptive though somewhat repetitive. 1y

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement right. I think I would mention furry companions before anything else. Like that would make a huge difference to your mental health. 1y

Cuilin @Lcsmcat so many poor decisions. What‘s wrong with living a comfortable life? Lol 1y

Robinson Crusoe (Penguin Classics) | Daniel Defoe

Robinson is rescued by a Portuguese ship,with the help of the captain he sells all his possessions(which apparently includes his friend xD)and settles in Brazil where he has a prosperous plantation.After his first trip almost ended in death;and the second captured and made a slave; he makes the OBVIOUS decision of going for a third trip to buy slaves for other people. I'm happy he is now in the Island cause I can't cope with his decision making

Lcsmcat 😂 I had similar opinions - especially as to his selling the guy who helped him escape slavery! 1y

This chapter with the weird unidentifiable beasts, and the lion swimming to the boat to attack them got me so confused 😂 It made me think about that theory that says that unicorns were just badly described rhinos

#RandomClassics @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks I'm also confused because there is a LOT of action and we haven't even gotten to the part where he's stranded on the desert island 😂 1y

nanuska_153 @TheAromaofBooks so much going on...and so much omitted, he says in a sentence that he was a slave for 2 years, but whatever... nothing worth mentioning, this is not what I came to tell you guys 😌😂 1y

TheAromaofBooks Also in the first chapter when he's like “I had two brothers. One died at sea. I don't know what happened to the other one.“ WHAT!?!?!? 😂 1y

nanuska_153 @TheAromaofBooks 😂😂😂 the other one must have been a middle child 🥲 1y

I bought this some of years ago in a second hand bookshop, I'm not going to lie, I just got it because it's pretty, but excited to give it a chance with @TheAromaofBooks and her #RandomClassics
My edition has an index dividing it on 24 chapters but with the help of Sparknotes I managed to find the 20 chapters division.

This is basically what I did with my first hour in the office cause it's Monday and I couldn't be arsed xD

TheAromaofBooks Oooo such a pretty edition!!! 1y

nanuska_153 @TheAromaofBooks thanks! 🥰 The paper is nice and thick too giving you the false illusion that you read more pages than you really did 😅 1y

Okay friends, here is the #BuddyRead schedule for Robinson Crusoe!! Basically, I will try to check in about 1/3 and then 2/3 through the book, i.e. chapters 7 and 14. I've included the final sentence of each of those chapters for those whose books are not divided into 20 chapters.

I've included the final sentence of each of those chapters for those whose books are not divided into 20 chapters. We'll do our best to keep on track together/avoid spoilers, but I realize no promises can be made when we're all reading different editions with different divisions!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) You may have noticed that the book ends with him saying “now for part 2!“ and then there is no part 2!! I thought I was missing part of the book, but apparently it's actually a teaser for the second book, which I've never read and may or may not pick up after finishing this one haha

So we'll start July 1 with a chapter (ish) a day. I'm excited to read with you all!!

Robinson Crusoe | Daniel Defoe

Oh my word, we are already more than halfway through June!! So it's time to see who would like to read along for July's #RandomClassic - Robinson Crusoe!! I've been wanting to reread this one for years.

In a trick move, I have two editions of this book. They seem to be the same text, but one is divided into 20 chapters, and the other isn't! So if you are planning to read along, let me know whether or not your book has chapters and we will see ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) what kind of schedule we can draw up haha

Originally published in 1719, some people consider this the first English novel. Defoe was a Puritan, so while there is plenty of adventure in this story, you can also expect some moralistic preaching, along with thoughts and themes that may not jive with our modern sensibilities.

Tagging my master list, and you can let me know if you'd like to join me in July!! 1y

BarkingMadRead I‘m in! 1y

Lcsmcat I‘m in, and my version has 20 chapters. 1y

BarkingMadRead I will check my version later and let you know how many chapters are in it! 1y

Cuilin Have my copy!! I‘m in. 1y

Read4life Mine has 20 chapters. 1y

wanderinglynn I tried Robinson Crusoe but just couldn‘t finish it. I DNF‘d it. But I‘d like to join in August for Fahrenheit 451. 1y

ChaoticMissAdventures I can't join for July but would love to be tagged in this group if possible? I love 451 and would join in August! 1y

CatLass007 I‘ll be listening to the audio version. The version I‘ll be using is broken up into 39 chapters. 1y

Librarybelle I won‘t be able to join for July, but I‘ll be back for August!! 1y

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @Lcsmcat @Read4life - Woohoo!! I have you all down for this one. I think we're going to read a chapter a day based on the 20-chapter division, but I'll draw up a schedule that gives us a sentence or two to show where we should be each week, so we can hopefully stay together 😂 1y

TheAromaofBooks @wanderinglynn - I feel you!! I'm hoping the slower pace makes it easier to read haha But I'll see you in August - I haven't ever read Fahrenheit 451 and am weirdly looking forward to it. 1y

TheAromaofBooks @ChaoticMissAdventures - Yay!! I'll add you to the master list - I tag everyone each month, and you can opt in or out for that month's book. In general, we read a chapter a day until we finish the book, so sometimes a book will carry over into a new month - for instance, right now I'm still finishing May's book (East of Eden) while also reading June's book (Puck of Pook's Hill). 1y

TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle - Sounds good!!! 1y

nanuska_153 Can you add me too? I bought this one in a second hand shop years ago and I haven't read it yet. Pretty sure I read it as a child but I just have a very faint memory of some images 1y

TheAromaofBooks @nanuska_153 - Definitely!!! Would you like to be added to the master list (if you're interested in any of the future books) or just for Robinson Crusoe? 1y

nanuska_153 @TheAromaofBooks add me to the master list in case I'm tempted to join other books please! 1y

TheAromaofBooks @nanuska_153 - Yay!! I tag everyone each month and then everyone decides if they want to opt in or out for that book. Then as we're reading, I try to post every Monday to check in. It's suuuper chill and mostly a way to keep myself accountable so I actually read these books 😂 1y

nanuska_153 @TheAromaofBooks just checked the "chapters", mine is an old edition that I got in a second hand shop, it has no chapters but at the beginning it kind of divides the story in 24 brief sinopsis (?) Like the first one is: "My birth and parentage- early education- desire to go to sea..." Also the preface says it's an edition of the First Part of Robinson Crusoe (it has almost 300 pages) but I might need to find the rest ???‍♀️ 1y
