Discovered that I also have two copies of bloody Robinson Crusoe (three if you count the one in German but that's for language learning purposes), a book I still have not read and every attempt has ended in failure.

Why

#They're both part of a set of 'Children's Classics' so that probably explains why neither has been thrown out in previous culls #I also have three copies of Alice in Wonderland but at least I've actually read that #But seriously why does Robinson Crusoe haunt me #Dear Mr Defoe I read Moll Flanders and thought it was quite amusing now can you stop making my house spawn #endless copies of Robinson Crusoe; yes I KNOW that Alexander Selkirk lived just down the coast but I really don't think three copies #will make me any likelier to read even one of them #Earth and Stone #Can't find the first Famous Five book but up to my eyeballs in Robinson Crusoes
