Interesting Times

Hm well. I may try another Rincewind Pratchett some time-- indeed, I may already have another Rincewind in the pile-- but I can see people's lack of enthusiasm for him. Not an anti-hero, just unheroic: who thus suffers extremely badly by comparison with morally heroic characters like Vimes, morally complex characters like Angua, and even the Carrots and Vetinaris who are... mh, stereotypes morphed into something else. Fascinatingly so in the latter case. I need a Discworld concordance to find all known appearances of Vetinari's assistant so I can slash the two of them.
