When re-reading P&P, I always feel like I am returning to old friends -- and I enjoyed the visit as much during the 55th reading as I did for the first 54. :-)

This reading was even more special because I was able to share it with so many Pemberfolk. Thanks to all of you for the insightful discussion that you generated and sustained. It has been a marvelous GR for me -- the first I ever moderated, and the first in a long while that I managed to stick with from beginning to end!

I also want to give a special thank you to JulieW for all the great information she gave us. (Applause, applause.)
