Amanda 1. Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

Didn't finish. Horribly dull (unless you like goats). Notable from an historical point of view only. I doubt many would hold this up as an example of good novel writing, but it is of its time.

Amanda 2. The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

Interesting insight into the medieval mindset, if a little discouraging regarding human nature.
