Still Pterying

Since last I posted, I finished both Feet of Clay and The Fifth Elephant.

Feet of Clay contains one of my favorite exchanges between Sam Vimes and the Patrician.

“Commander, I always used to consider that you had a definite anti-authoritarian streak in you.”
“Sir?”
“It seems that you have managed to retain this even though you are authority.”
“Sir?”
“That’s practically zen.”

In my mind, I hear Alan Rickman's rolling r when he says "practically."

I liked The Fifth Elephant mostly because we get to see Lady Margolotta, the Patrician's chess-by-mail partner. It's been a while since I read it, and I forgot she's a twin set-and-pearls teetotaler.

Next is The Truth. Just started it.
