(1720) Kidnapped as a child, raised as sailor, marooned on a remote island with a band of failed mutineers, the hero escapes the island, crosses Africa, and eventually becomes a pirate captain. The frequent episodes involving enslaved people and human trafficking make it difficult to enjoy today. But it has interesting points, especially a Quaker pirate who becomes such a close friend that he & Capt. Singleton set up house together in retirement.

1. Probably? I mean, I read older books because (a) I'm curious about the roots of the stories that fascinate me, and (b) for me, reading diversely means temporal diversity as well. Whether the vintage books are "classics" or not, I'm a poor judge

2. My goal is to read All The Books. So yes, all of them. Tagged is a vintage (classic?) book I hope to read soon.
