What would you add to the list?
1/10 Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
2/10 Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe Shipwrecked. Survival. Solitude. Danger.
3/10 The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas D'Artagnan joins musketeers on daring quests in 17th-century France.
4/10 Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson Buried treasure. Pirates. Mutiny.
5/10 Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne A professor and companions explore subterranean wonders amongst treacherous perils.
6/10 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne Captain Nemo and crew embark on a submarine voyage, encountering marine marvels and dangers along the way.
7/10 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain Tom Sawyer navigates childhood adventures in 19th-century America.
8/10 King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard Allan Quatermain leads an expedition in search of fabled riches in Africa.
9/10 The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas Wrongful imprisonment. Love. Betrayal.
10/10 The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss A shipwrecked family survives and thrives on a deserted island while living in an awesome treehouse.
Agreed on 8/10. I'd pick Huck over Tom (just more adventure and a sense of danger, with genuinely vile villains), and I'm not a huge Swiss Family Robinson fan. Would sub in Sabatini's Scaramouche (the opening line, “He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad," remains a true classic in and of itself.)
