Thud!

Finally got around to reading Thud! by Terry Pratchett. Well, actually in May.

Once upon a time there was a guard who didn't really feel like lining up for convenient slashing by the Hero in the book. But now the once-was-city-guard Hero slashes through the guards all lined up with little thought...

And that's all I'm going to say about that. The guards books aren't really my favorite anyway. Well, there's Jingo... and anything with time travel... Er, where's that Johnny Maxwell book that keeps being mentioned?

Apparently there is now a local Tesco, but someone's decided to call it "Fresh & Easy" instead. Maybe, just maybe, they carry a Maya Gold. This would be important to know, especially with Wild Oats closing in favor of a new Whole Foods. Sure the new Whole Foods has fresh doughnuts on the hour, but it isn't within walking distance and the interior portions of a Whole Foods tend to be full of extremely tempting and expensive luxuries. Even the edges have exotic cheeses.
