Just finished Guard! Guards! again and was struck by the ol’narrative parallels between this pair of scrawny malnourished guys with drinking problems and their taste in women.

Favourite Characters 55/365

Rincewind, the eternal coward. It's not about where you're running to, but who or what you are running from!

I love Rincewind and his desire for a quiet life with potatoes nearby...

The child stared distantly at the landscape for a while and then said, “I’ve got new socks.”

YES?

“You can look, if you like.” A grubby foot was extended for inspection.

WELL, WELL. FANCY THAT. NEW SOCKS.

“My mum knitted them out of sheep.”

MY WORD.

- Reaper Man, Sir Terry Pratchett

[fourdiagnosesinatrenchcoat]

So I just reread Reaper Man, because my dad died and reading Buddhist philosophy did not help. But Discworld philosophy has informed my own so much that it seemed like a good idea, and I think it was but WOOF was it rough reading Death say "I DON'T WANT TO GO" when asked for his last words because that really seemed to be how my dad died.

I HOPE that he also felt what Windle Poons did, "great relief, and general optimism, and a feeling that on the whole everything could have been much worse."

But my real question is:

What happens to the kid? The one Death rescues from the fire and shares his life timer with? Did we find out and I cried through that paragraph?
