Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Among these books was a brief abstract of that amusing story "Robinson Crusoe", which I read with much eagerness and satisfaction. I only regretted its brevity, for I became so deeply interested in the fortunes of its hero and of his Man Friday, that I would fain have read a full account of their adventures.'
