Finished: Kidnapped (Stevenson). An adventurous book! I don't think Kidnapped was really my kind of book, but I'm determined to read my 100 authors, so set out to read this book. It snagged me with the misadventure of the protagonist, David Balfour, at the beginning, and kept me somewhat hooked until I could find out that he was duly rewarded in the end. I don't know if it is politically correct to say, but I think this is more of a boy's book...reading about David being kidnapped, and all his adventures in the Scottish highlands getting back to his rightful home. It just seemed like a book that younger boys may enjoy reading. Or, maybe that young boys back in my day might have enjoyed reading while I was busy reading the Little House on the Prairie series. :-) Anyway, I'm glad I finally read a Stevenson book!

I have a feeling that I'll feel the same way about Jules Verne when I've got to read one of his books. That is coming soon! I only have Jules Verne and John Milton left in the top 50 of the 100 authors, so I'll pick one of them next.
