Yes, absolutely, to Robinson Crusoe! It doesn't just fit the desert-island theme; it's a great story. I didn't read it until well into adulthood because I wasn't sure you could make much of two people on a desert island. But once I'd read it, I wondered if any author had ever made the discovery of footprints in the sand so tantalizing.
