I'm reading Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, well not actually reading, just listening to; for the last year or so I've been listening to books on tape during my commute to and from work, my commute is about 30 minutes each way, so I can get in a pretty good amount of a book each day. I'd never read Robinson Crusoe before other than some shorten version or what you see on TV, its a much longer book than I'd expected, about 10 hours worth of reading which is usually about a 300-500 page book. He was stranded on the island much longer than I'd thought and didn't meet Friday until quite a long ways into the book. So far its pretty good, a lot more philosophy and stuff, and not so much fighting pirates or cannibals, although there's some of that also.
