# Thud was pretty decent. Snuff on the other hand...

# I'm half convinced he had a ghost writer for parts of it.
He also needs to stop harping on about Vimes all the time now.

# he did
afaik, he dictates a lot now. i think he's trying to tie up loose ends with the stories, but it's not working out well. have you read the last hero?

# i'm just wondering
if the face-to-face picture of rincewind and the patrician is intended to make them look almost identical or not. after all, rincewind's mother apparently ran away before he was born. separated at birth, perhaps?

# I remember that picture. Could be, but if it was it was probably just done on artistic licence by Kidby.

# Back on the subject of tattoos, if I was going to get a fanboy Pratchett tattoo it would probably be of the troll graffiti from Thud.

# Snuff is a mess.
It reads like a lucid dream compared to the earlier stuff. It's well written, just there's no tension or momentum. It's a bit sad really.

# Night Watch
