I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Vimes would be miserable in the job, and do it well.

Problem is, based on Night Watch, Vimes is about the same age as Vetinari, so it's not much good for long-term planning.

I think Holli had the best idea I've seen yet: Vetinari is grooming Moist von Lipwig as his successor.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, Holli's characterizations made me go, oh yeah, of course.

Ooo, Moist would be a great successor.

It's my canon until Pterry says otherwise.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Mine, too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I finished Thief of Time, and then I thought, "I wonder how many books I have until the next Susan one," so I checked.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ISN'T A NEXT SUSAN ONE
