List any you like here. looking to read some more of these types, but hard to find anything that looks good.

I have already read:
Robinson Crusoe
Mysterious Island
Treasure Island
Kidnapped

The Swiss Family Robinson and Gulliver's Travels are timeless classics.

I read a book many years ago that was a true story of 3 service men who spent over a month and possibly 2 in a rubber life raft in the Pacific after their plane went down or boat sank-I don't quite remember which but one thing I do remember was the bravery,faith and perseverance these men showed.I wish I could remember the name of this book because I'd certainly love to read it again.

BTW there is one more thing that I found unique about this book was that at the end the men thanked the company that made the dinghy for making such a fine leakproof product as they wouldn't have survived without it.

The 3rd one is really spooky.

or you could watch reruns of "gilligan's island"

+1

I'd also recommend "Island" By Aldous Huxley

T'is a good read that one.

Hi Arjay,I do believe that's the book although the title doesn't ring any bells the scenario certainly seems that this could be the one.It was an excellent and moving book and now I have it put on my Christmas list.Thanks very much for posting.
