Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe is a classic I've never found time to read. I thought it was appropriate for a solo traveler to Hay-on-Wye, the Welsh mecca of used bookstores. I found an old version that was only 5 pounds.
The bookstore, one of 50 in the small town of Hay-on-Wye, was nice but not as great as I was hoping. I wanted Hay-on-Wye to knock me over with inviting titles I'd never seen before. Instead, it was thorough at being old: just in "W," I saw used early editions of classics by Waugh, Wodehouse, Woolf, etc.
