Yeah, that Uppity humanist! How dare he write in defense of Dreyfuss!!!
Obviously, Don Quijote is the book to get..cervante's influence can not be overstated..and he lost an arm fighting the infadel, so the Diplomat must surely approve

Maybe not, but it's more amusing to misinterpret it.

I'll second Kidnapped, Great Expectations and Treasure Island, and I'll also say that Robinson Crusoe and Swiss Family Robinson are fun books too.
Oscar Wilde is amazing - his play Salome has to be read.
Also, I'd like to mention Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad" and "Roughing It" - great travelogues.
