Oh, I don't know about that - the guards books are pretty close together. less than 10 years for sure. Your second sugestion sounds better - although I did get...

... [Avast, ye spoilers ahead, matey!] That's not correct. Vimes became Commander of the Watch because Carrot basically "forced" the proposition upon Vetinari...
... 1. How long is a Discworld year? It might be shorter than one of ours. 2. Windle Poons was, IIRC, 130 years old at the time of Reaperman. Either the years...
... In the Colour of Magic one of the footnotes (not sure of page numbers - close to the start of the book) explains the movements of the sun and moon, the...
... From what I recall her age in Reaper Man isn't an issue. Not sure which book it's in, but as Death takes on other roles, doesn't Susan get some of his ...

... Carrot would have been surprised anyway - he skipped a lot of ranks. As for the double year thing - only wizards use the 800 days calendar, the rest of the...
... Carrot was surprised he made CORPORAL (see first pages of Men at Arms), not Captain (a promotion he himself initiated with Vetinari at the end of Men at...
... Hmmmmmm I dunno, Susan. Its close but to me its just a teeny bit errrr..... grim? Seems to have more of a frown than DEATH'S permanent smile. That reminds...
... Well, like, the Grim Reaper is supposed to be Grim, isn't he? Maybe when he's about to kick Auditor booty or something. I would =love= to take a bash at...
All this time talk is very interesting, but I'm not familiar enough with all the books to add anything (only with Lord of the Rings can I spend hours debating...
Personally, I found Monstrous to be my least favorite of all the non Rincewind DW books. The cross-dressing thing got stale after awhile, especially when the...
Whew! Thanks for your review of Monstrous Regiment. I liked it, but I wasn't bowled over by it. My teen daughters, though, just loved it! They giggled all...
I liked it - but then again I'm usually not that critical. It was predictable, and with less than usuall number of jokes, but those that were made me LOL. The ...
Hi Yasmin I know exactly what you mean when you say 'I think Vimes was supposed to be there - I can't really put it to words, but it was right that he should...
.......but I have just finished reading "companion 2". Yes, I read it cover to cover and blooming glad I did. I found it greatly helped me fill in some gaps...
Just listened to Mort on listen again radio 4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/mort.shtml?focuswin Albert has been dead for 2000 years (and founded the...
I really enjoyed this book. Although the dressing up thing seemed predictable, it was the predictability that I found amusing. That and the fact that only the...
I must be the only person in the world who thought this was THE WORST DISCWORD book bar none. Does anyone else think Terry has kind of got stale or lost the...
Be of good cheer; you're not alone. For me, MR is the worst of the recent DW books, and near the bottom in terms of quality, but is still better than "The...
You are, of course, entitled to an opinion. I must say that the worst thing in the world IMO is to read something you don't like, especially by someone that ...

Okay, I'll admit it to you 'cos I know you won't tell anyone. I'm having a Discworld holiday. Well, d'ya blame me after wading through companion 2? Just for a...
