Chapter IX

I have just officially, for the first time ever, enjoyed an entire chapter of Persuasion!!!! (I even took a quote from it! Whaaaat!) I hardly know what to do with myself now!

Chapter X – XII

I can’t believe how much I just read all at once! It’s a freaking miracle!

After enjoying Chapter IX, I decided to ride that enjoyment as far as it would take me and kept going all the way to Chapter XII, the end of Volume I. I didn’t enjoy these three chapters like I did Chapter IX, but I wasn’t impatient to be finished for the week like I have been every single other week of this project, so I think that’s good enough really.

I’m now officially ahead of schedule and I can genuinely say I enjoyed one chapter of this book which has given me years of trouble!

In this post I explained my plan to finally work my way through Jane Austen’s Persuasion (the only book of hers I don’t like at all).

At the end of each week, either Friday or Saturday, I will post an update of my progress and any thoughts, should I have them.
