This is what Pip brings back from the meshes:

"Since that time, which is far enough away now, I have often thought that few people know what secrecy there is in the young, under terror. No matter how unreasonable the terror, so that it be terror."

Out in the dark or warm at home, Pip is alone. 🍰

And then whoosh from the boundless cold marshes, here we are in this tiny warm little house full of Pip's living family... of 2. So much info! Just as cinematic but quick takes btwn the 3 people in that house. My initial take is how hilarious yet terrible Mrs. Joe is to me now. And ...relatable? 🍰

Any of the 🐋 shipmates here get "and I alone survived" vibes from Pip in the churchyard with his dead fam? 🍰

Today's brand new random (Brandon?) reactions to the assignment:
Chapter 1 was a sensory trip. The gigantic cinematic sweep up from the tombstones out to "the flat leaden line beyond" back to... just Pip.* Then a jump scare from the scary convict!

Afternoon all, happy to be here. This one's an old sweater for me, I'm definitely a repeat consumer. First encounter was my mother reading it aloud when I was in ... 2nd grade? After I knew how to read, she switched to reading "real" books that were still above my level. Devious woman! 🍰

Pip and Miss Havisham watching South Park. I can see it. 🍰

Yes.

I'll take feckless nation building for 400, Alex!

Database admins ftw! My people!
