Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe (*)
The Stranded on an Island classic novel. Too obvious a choice? but have read this several times and due for another go for me.

For the Term of His Natural Life - Marcus Clarke (*)
Stranded in Australia through transportation, an (the?) Australian classic novel. Available in the Patricia Clark Memorial Library. Have read this several times and due for another go for me

Angle of Repose - Wallace Stegner
A loose take on Stranded, narrator is stranded, isolated in a wheelchair and has lost wife and all contact with his family, escape is through writing. An American (and world literary) classic and Pulitzer Prize winner. Has been on my list to read for a while.

(*) these two I felt sure I had seen used in the groups here before but I could not find them in the check list. Maybe my memory is playing tricks
