Thanks for touting classic literature. I would also recommend Ivanhoe!

Thank you, Mr Trent, for this list!

For those who don't know him, I would offer another author whose works include several that are outstanding . . . Rafael Sabatini . . . Try any of the following (he wrote lots more, though these are my favorites):

Captain Blood

Scaramouche

Bellarion

The Snare

Good list, though an unmodified Robinson Crusoe is pretty hard to get through these days. It was the first major novel in the west, and it shows its extreme age.

Yea, I'm working on reading Redwall to my young ones right now. I think I like it more than they do hah.
