why?

In 2018, I was finishing up my MSc and going somewhat mad in the process. I’m not quite sure how it happened, but this madness manifested in a need to catalogue every book ever mentioned on No Such Thing as a Fish.

I'm about halfway through... There's one hell of a spreadsheet (which gives me some sort of sense of my life being in control) and I'm updating in roughly episode order.

There will be mistakes and omissions in this list. Sometimes I have to make a best guess based on the info I have, sometimes I just give up. There’s nothing official about this project; I’m just a woman having a bit of a nerdy laugh.

The tumblr feed is generally set up to post 1 book a day, so as not to overwhelm your feed with niche literature.

“We are here, and this is now.” Constable Visit, a strict believer in the Omnian religion, occasionally quoted that from their holy book. Vimes understood it to mean, in less exalted copper speak, that you have to do the job that is in front of you.

--Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

"There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do."
