The book this week is Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. That’s right. It’s not just for twelve year old boys any more. I still find it surprising how many of the classics I have managed not to read yet.
The sentence:
“Well,” he said, with an oath, “it’s not for ever.”
I thought this was a very bad sign; for, up to that day, the men had gone briskly and willingly about their business; but the very sight of the island had relaxed the cords of discipline.
There are a lot of semicolons in this book.

I was not educated well in the classics either. I've started listening to a few with my subscription to Audible.
What a great book! I haven't read it yet...alas. I must change that....
