What's this? Another Discworld book finished so soon?

I DEVOURED Nights Watch. It caught a grip on me that I really could not have seen it coming. One could expect, from the previous books of The Watch a similar story. A crime, a chase, some "politics"... And then. A storm comes in. And we are there.

The lilacs are blooming, the people are unhappy and there are talks. There's still a chase, of course, of a crazy sonofa. But while that looming threat covers the city of Ankh-Morpork, so does the people's fears.

Cogs move, the people are unhappy, it wasn't good times, freedom was practically non-existant, and in had to come John Keel to give order.

To be the sane man in a crazy world for those days.

To be there.

A revolution sparks from a feeling of hope. Of will to change, but when the powderkeg explodes, soon enough someone will rebuild the barrel, and back to business. And one will still have a boiled egg.

You just had to be there.

This book has sealed my love for the Watch.

btw i think if you tried to explain politics to Winnie the Pooh he wouldn't really get it & then if you went on explaining he'd be like 'why can't we all just be nice to each other' and you'd be like you got me there Pooh. I just don't know. :(

I love the Discworld dwarfs.

"Sam!" said Lady Sybil, advancing through the throng. "They're going to perform `Bloodaxe and Ironhammer'! Isn't that wonderful?" "Er..." "It's an opera, sir," Cheery whispered. "Part of the Koboldean Cycle. It's history. Every dwarf knows it by heart. It's about how we got laws, and kings... and the Scone, sir." "I sang the part of Ironhammer when we did it at finishing school," said Lady Sybil. "Not the full five-week version, of course. It'd be marvelous to see it done here. It's really one of the great romances of history." "Romances?" said Vimes. "Like... a love story?" "Yes. Of course." "Bloodaxe and Ironhammer were both... er... weren't both..." Vimes began. "They were both dwarfs, sir," said Cheery. "Ah. Of course." Vimes gave up. All dwarfs were dwarfs. --- Sir Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

Witches in rural Discworld do everything. They're de facto country doctors, midwives, morticians, veterinarians, small claims court judges, food pantries, emergency services, just whatever. And 90% of it isn't even magic (though they can do incredible things), it's working hard and helping people and being respectable and a good person and making everyone a little bit afraid of you.

(Meanwhile all those venerable wizards up at Unseen University are like, accidentally opening portals to faraway lands or creating new gods or becoming obsessed with Music With Rocks In and basically being chaotic and useless, I'm just saying)
