I do wish I had more time for this GR...   Written by Cathy Allen (10/6/2010 4:49 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, LOL!, penned by Barb JA
Are you new?

I'm enjoying it as much as I can, within my time constraints. I always learn a lot when I participate here -- first time reader for the last RoP GR's of S&S, NA, Emma, and now MP (I do own and have watched the DVD's) -- but I'm afraid that this first-timer doesn't necessarily have much to add. I think it takes several readings of JA's work (in particular!) to really even scratch the surface, so that one has enough knowledge to really add something of value. But it is an enjoyable introduction to her writing, and leads to many more happy GR's in the future.

I did watch MP1 a couple of years ago, once. Wouldn't watch MP2 after reading discussion on it's revisionist screenplay, and was completely confused by MP3 -- I mean Billie Piper...?! So, with that little background, I'm really enjoying the MP story, and, as usual, JA's writing never ceases to amaze me! So much humor, so concise...words fail me!

What I'm saying, though, is don't hold your breath for pearls of wisdom from me at the conclusion of this GR. I will certainly add something if I find I need to. And thanks again, for your, BarbJA, and everbody else's insights. I'm enjoying this no end!
