NIGHTWATCH, page 274/422

They're building the barricades, and it's getting very exciting, and I can't stop reading! This is darker than all of the other Discworld books so far, and oh Vimes, and it's going to go badly and we'll lose people and... and I hope that grave in the beginning chapter isn't the foreshadowing I'm afraid it is. ::crosses fingers::

It's neat to see all the familiar characters in their younger days. I especially enjoy Nobby, Dibbler, and so forth. I'm amused that a certain young rookie has a resemblence to Carrot.

That's it for now. I'll probably type up something when I get to the end of the book. No spoilers or hints in the comments, please! I'll be done by tomorrow at the latest.

I am horrible for these sorts of things - I tend to read the L-Space article on the book before/while I'm reading it, so I know what the in-jokes are, even if I don't get-get them.

(I read/am reading DW all over the place, myself, because I started with the Watch books on recommendation and proceeded with what my local library had, and there the pickings were rather slim.)

Also, when you get to Thud!, the companion picture book Where's My Cow? is absolutely adorable.
