Daniel Defoe was not exactly the first to invent the genre since he was influenced by real tales of shipwrecks in the Pacific. In any case, "Robinson Crusoe" is indeed the classic not just for being first, but for being so much more than an adventure story. There is a whole other level to the novel, one of the internal struggles between Man and his God, a subject of much interest in America. But, the reader can skim past that extra level and appreciate the work for its outstanding narrative and detail. In my mind, this book still deserves to be on your reading list.
