Adventure Novels of Past and Present

This is a list of adventure stories I've read or that I want to eventually read. Many are well-known classics, but I've also included newer fiction that has that nostalgic 'adventure' vibe. Enjoy some stories of swashbuckling, exploration, seafaring, survival and romance.
