Death isn't on line. If he was, there would be a sudden drop in the death rate. Although it'd be interesting to see if he'd post things like: DON'T YOU THINK I SOUND LIKE JAMES EARL JONES?

I got to cross something off my bucket list:

I gifted my youngest niece Equal Rites for her 14th birthday last year. This week I was informed she picked up Mort as her "we're on vacation so we, your parents, will buy you a book" book.

In Ghat they believe in vampire watermelons, although folklore is silent about *what* they believe about vampire watermelons. Possibly they suck back.

In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

I wish Scotland welcomed Trump yelling "Nae King! Nae Quin! Nae Laird! Nae master! We willnae be fooled again!"
And then follow with "Crivens!" and whatever feels most Feegle at the time.

He microwaved himself something called a Pour-On Genuine Creole Lasagne, which said it served four portions. It did if you were dwarfs.

Although the scythe isn't pre-eminent among the weapons of war, anyone who has been on the wrong end of, say, a peasants' revolt will know that in skilled hands it is fearsome.

He was aware that a wise man should always respect the folkways of others, to use Carrot's happy phrase, but Vimes often had difficulty with this idea.

I'm almost through The Shepherd's Crown and it's better than I feared - definitely better than Raising Steam, in my opinion.
There are only two things that I find jarring: Nanny Ogg sounds WAY folksier than it does normally, and it's clear he would've edited it massively ("dainty" appears every second page).
Other than that, I have the feeling he wrote the same book in the Good Timeline, the one where the Embuggerance left him alone.

If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards!
