Wasn't really expecting those last three. lol I've never explored Defoe, possibly because I absolutely hated Robinson Crusoe in school. And I never finished Great Expectations, although I did attempt it!

The last three are there for nastalgic purposes. Lol. I loved Great Expectations and Hard Times, but fin Dickens rather predictable. Moll Flanders was great, the only DeFoe I really enjoyed. If I thought about it harder, I could likely replace the last three, lol.
