ksmithStarted my reread with vague memories of the plot. Golems. The Watch. Some seriousness.
Then during my read last night I came to this part:
"In a way, it didn't matter who they were. In fact, their anonymity was part of the whole business. They thought themselves part of the march of history, the tide of progress and the wave of the future. They were men who felt that The Time Had Come. Regimes can survive barbarian hordes, crazed terrorists, and secret societies, but they're in real trouble when prosperous and anonymous men sit around a big table and think thoughts like that."
Pterry always managed to slip something in.
