A rererereread, because I need some Sam Vimes and Vetinari in my life, plus I wanted to try the new audiobook version narrated by John Culshaw.

De volgende ligt al klaar 😌

“If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often, it still wasn’t as cynical as real life.”

I am laughing out loud more frequently than any book I’ve ever read.

My first Pratchett. In my youth I bounced off of Good Omens, having my expectations not met because I was a Gaiman reader and not Pratchett.

Going into this knowing the score I am enjoying the beginning. Some of it feels very Python-esque, and some of it is much more grounded and earnest, which makes the comedy work better for me.

Fantastic so far.

I like it. It is one of those books that you would miss most of the jokes if it were an audiobook.

Ja nu reiz pasaulē ir radījums, kuram nav nekādu acīmredzamu kloķu un podziņu, tad tas ir pūķis.

Loving this book! Back on familiar ground in Ankh-Morpork with the Night Watch and it feels like coming home. Captain Vimes is a great character, splendidly drawn in the style of film noir as a world-weary cop who just wants to do his job and bring down the bad guys but is thwarted by his Machiavellian boss (The Patrician) and indeed the entire political and social system. Pratchett better than ever.

Man Carrots gonna be the actual secret king isn't he.

oouuggghhhuggghhhghhhhh

Gosh, I love it. I chuckled so much at the “swineherd” suppositions and have continued to get a lot of smiles from further developments. What fantastic plotting and world building.

Reading this is equally enjoyable as tiring.

Hilarious, should have started this one sooner.

I'm really liking this book so far. I wish it had chapters to help pace out my reading.

VIMES AND SYBILLL

AHHH

Interrupting my reading all of King’s books in publication order to try and love Pratchett.

All for one what? Yeah but all for one what?

I LOVE YOU
I WANT TO PUT YOU IN MY POCKET AND KEEP YOU SAFE FROM ALL THE BAD THINGS CAPTAIN SAM “ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY” VIMES

Aw, I just realized this lady is his future wife.

The guard has a long way to go to reach what it was in the book Thud! I do like this human dwarf though…

I can tell I’m supposed to find this funny but I’m not really feeling it. High school or college me might’ve enjoyed this much more.

"Chapters? Never heard of her" -Terry Pratchett (probably)

Retomo este libro porque es una vergüenza que lo haya empezado y lo vaya a dejar sin leer. Esto no puede ser.

love forever

Zatím se žádné wow nad Prechettovým dílem nekoná

It’s very funny but the plot/tension is so lifeless it needs to be brought out behind the barn and put out of their misery. Things are happening but nothing is moving FORWARD, it’s all just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. At least Douglass Adams doesn’t ATTEMPT a plot, he’s just absurdism all the way down. Still, I had so much fun in the first 100ish pgs so I’m hopeful it can rally.

not sure on this one
