Have broken down and started reading Pratchett again. flemmings's fault, in part, the elder's part too, for leaving one volume in the bathroom before going away on vacation. Ah, just my luck, it's Men at Arms. Ho ho, ha ha.
That's the most eloquent description of Vimes' character progression I've read yet. I think the Vimes we meet in Monstrous Regiment is my favourite followed very closely by the Vimes in Thud!. The one for his experience and humour and the second for a glimpse into the darkness he holds inside.
And I was wondering what I'd read for my bath and now I think I'll start the Watch books over again. XD
Hmm, I know I've read Guards! and Monstrous Regiment. I remember neither. I don't think I've read Thud! I'll have to go find them.
It's a good thing the spouse reads them all, 'cause I tend to fall in and out of Pratchett and it's nice that they are all here somewhere when I fall in. It's either that or read the adventure stories of Confucious.
I'm in the same situation with the s.o. having all the Pratchetts so if I'm in the mood they're there. (And other big collections of graphic novels and science fiction novels... I rarely have an excuse to be bored!)
Ha! When you mentioned the adventure stories of Confucious I have to say the first image that popped into my mind was a Tintin-esque cover with Confucious drawn Herge style and a title like 'Confucious in - The search for enlightenment' XD

I'm not at all sure that it isn't like that ...
