I will take that as a yes, that you believe that reading Robinson Crusoe is as much a waste of time as reading a modern day comic.
Not quite, it’s just a absurd comparison. Like the movie, it’s a fun little diversion - especially for younger minds.
But I suspect Dickens, Shakespeare, Homer, Proust, Tolstoy and the like really don’t need to worry a whole lot about competition.
People historically quite usually think their period’s passing cultural ephemera to have surpassed sliced bread in greatness and importance - just a common, normal human temporal-based prejudice.
