Robinson Crusoe. It's one of my favorite books back home, but I'm not sure if it exists here. It's about a fairy who keeps getting shipwrecked on deserted islands and has to figure out how to survive and escape. It's kind of old, but it's pretty good.
[It's an escape, is what it is. Someplace long ago and far away from Lasardhi, and struggles far from his own - a story he could get lost in when he had a minute and enough focus to read.]
[He could just get online and see, but if hunting for books is like hunting for comics there's something to be said for just going and taking a look to see what he can find.]
Having to survive a shipwreck does sound pretty fun. I bet you'd have to drink coconut milk and catch fish and stuff like that.
