The Crystal Cave is a book I came to love as teenager, and have read many, many times. But it's not available as an ebook, so when I recently formed a hankering to read it again, I found a paper copy. The problem is that my reading time is mostly close to bedtime, so I prefer ebooks. Therefore, I plan to read this slowly, a chapter here and a chapter there, and just savor every word of an all-time favorite.

6/10/2020 - I'm reading more slowly right now, for various reasons, and I'm trying to include more nonfiction in my reading again.

Excellent commentary for the Course. I use it as my morning reading. Slowly on purpose. :)

I'm not usually into short fiction, in fact I tend to prefer long novels. But this is good! The stories vary so far, as to whether the rake/rogue decides to better himself, is really so bad to begin with, or something inspires him to men his ways. The first was John Willoughby, the second was George Wickham, and the third was Colonel Fitzwilliam, who isn't a rake in P&P. That story is my favorite so far.

I keep this on my Kindle to read, reread. I've also downloaded some of the individual novels to review as I go along through numerous rereads. Some of her early or unfinished stories included here are still unknown to me. I did begin one early story that I stopped reading. It was written when she was quite young, and hadn't matured as a writer enough to suit me as a reader. So ... ongoing.
