I figured we could have a casual thread to talk about what we're reading. That's the main part of literature after all, in a way. I'll make a start in the comments; feel free to post something!

Somewhere on here I lamented my inability to get into Terry Pratchett. Mostly the problem is that the way he writes gives little indication of chronology, so it feels like everything is happening at once. Well, in the interim, I came across the BBC radio adaptations, which hardly have that problem at all. So I started back into Guards! Guards! and it was a neat little investigation of the trope of the city guard in fantasy fiction. Like, what actually is the point of a standing constabulary when theives and assassins can establish guilds?
Recently started into Men at Arms and it feels like it has far more to say in the same space. I think it may suffer in that regard.
