Making Money was awesome. Thud! was way darker and kinda moodier than Making Money, which I have no problem with, it was an awesome book, but Making Money was like a return to the more lighter-of-heart Discworld books. I had a lot of good laughs during it, well worth a read.

Moist is clearly being groomed as the successor to the patricianship.

shadok posted:Night Watch is also my favourite Discworld novel, and I didn't find it a particularly "dark" work. Well it was pretty dark. I don't know how you couldn't have found it so.

Last few posts made me realize how much I wanted to re-read Night Watch, so I just spent half an hour searching through my entire house looking for it! Thank god I found it or I might just have gone crazy.

d3c0y2 posted:you liked that about thud? It actually annoyed me, it seemed pretty silly and broke my connection to Vimes, thud ws my first vimes novel (outside of his minor appearence in monstrous regiment) and I was liking the grim character, but I found that in Thud, like in so many vimes novels (Jingo anyone?) Vimes builds himself up for an awesome finish and then it just fades away leaving me feeling cheated. Have you read Night Watch? The ending(s) there are amazing. Best Vimes book, hands down.

shadok posted:I hadn't even noticed that it was the same character. But Pratchett also seems to like using Angua: she makes appearances as a working copper in "The Truth", "Monstrous Regiment", "Making Money" and "Unseen Academicals". Angua is one of the main characters though.

Kipory posted:Pratchett has said as much that Moist doesn't have the fangs for being a tyrant. He has said he does have the mind for being a hell of a politician, though. Well clearly the patrician is slowly turning A-M into something that is not a tyranny

I haven't been able to afford a book in a long rear end time, but christmas is coming up and hopefully I'll get the last couple of Discworld books I haven't read, plus Nation. Can't wait.
