The next up on my reading of the 306 greatest books is Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. This book can be found on the Sybervision Book Lists.
Upon finishing Treasure Island, I searched through my stack of grandfather's books and picked out another book from my list. Ivanhoe sounded interesting. I had literally no clue what it was about before diving in. Turns out, it's Robin Hood. Or at least Robin Hood lite. Reading through the book the main impression I had about the book was this guy who would steal from the rich and give to the poor. Richard the Lionheart was even in the book! It is a medieval romantic novel that takes place in the 1100's about Sir Ivanhoe after he comes back from the Third Crusades. This was definitely a surprising book for me, since I had no clue what I was getting into. Overall it was a very enjoyable book and one of the few on the list that takes place in medieval England.
