Okay friends, I am letting the queue resume. Everything coming out of the queue through the end of Soul Music was written before Tuesday. Thanks for sending your quotes and commiserating in the tags and generally being cool people. In a few books we’ll be at Feet of Clay and I’m confident Vimes will have some things to say about people, and making sure the voiceless can be heard.
Here’s a non-Discworld quote that is also important to me, and feels relevant:
"I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
Thanks again for bearing with me during this decidedly unpleasant interlude.
