ksmithFor the past few weeks, I've been trying to pull away from nighttime screens by reading actual paper books. Imagine!
I've started with an out-of-sequence Pterry reread. First, Hogfather, because it seemed appropriate for December. Followed up with Guards! Guards!, then Lords and Ladies.
Now I'm reading Jingo, which seems appropriate to the times in so many ways. It also contains one of my favorite, idk, processes? Namely, Lord Vetinari* manipulating Sam Vimes into acting like, well, Sam Vimes.
*Lord Vetinari is one of my "Spock crushes**." In my mind, he's played by Alan Rickman.
**crushes on literary/film/TV characters. Mr. Spock was my first. Lord Peter Wimsey. Loki from the Marvel TV series. And Vetinari.
