A&E > Robinson Crusoe
Watching the 1996 remake of Robinson Crusoe with Pierce Brosnan, and it's awesome. I didn't realize it was Brosnan until I clicked TiVo's info button. His acting is great, the scenery and filming are perfect, and there's action galore. And there's Pierce Brosnan - wirey, long-haired, and shirtless - for the ladies. In other words, Melissa liked it, too.

My mother read Crusoe to me before I entered the first grade. A couple of years ago, I found Defoe's work available for download from Project Gutenberg and I was amazed how much I had either missed or forgotten. Plus, I discovered a second volume of Crusoe's adventures that I had not known about. Excellent reads.
