Recs if you like Robinson Crusoe...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

size matters for this list, all these classics are more than 400 pages long. they are THICK. suggestions welcome, i am a very generous interpreter of the term "classic" normally but i'm starting with the golden oldies

historical fiction novels that also have cannibalism in them

Thanks to alexindex for naming this list! These are books with boats, shipwrecks, and cannibalism. More description in the comments

no like….. literally

I recently realised I love all things maritime, especially in fiction. My favourite movies, museums, books, even childhood stories all contain pirates, outlaws and the sea! So I'm making a very loose list of books with this vibe as a guide for my self of past reads and TBRs! Please comment your recs!💕

I study literature and this has been my curriculum through the years. OBS: Curriculums change depending on school and country, etc. Updating as I go along.

Its really that simple

Titles with full character's name. I haven't read all of those books, and I'm open to suggestions.

Ever wondered what books of your nation are taught in other countries? Well, I always do. This is what we study in English literature (by any English speaking country) here in Italian highschools.

I only study English, so I can only do it for this language. If any Italian highschooler wants to add books mentioned by their text that I didn't have, or books their teachers made them study in class, they are welcome to do so.

Hope someone is interested.

We often talk about what Rizal wrote, but what did the National Hero consume to write so well? To think in that way? Rizal was known to be a voracious reader, getting it from his parents ("[My parents] urged me to read and understand them [books]") and then spending hours in libraries overseas. From his letter to Blumentritt (Nov. 8, 1888): "The Indio, in general, is very fond of reading and studying…”

added as i read the book

Books where the characters have to survive in secluded places, away from civilization. The term was coined by Defoe's Robinson Crusoe but beside literary fiction this theme is often prevalent in post-apocalyptic fiction and sci-fi. This list interprets the theme more loosely and focuses on the practical side of survival, basically: less running from zombies and more building fences :)
