Damn, what a good book. I thought nothing could replace Vetinari vs Vimes in my affections, but Vetinari vs Moist is a winner.
Only trouble with mainlining these books is not remembering what happens where. Is it in Men at Arms that Vimes arrests Vetinari, or somewhere else?
(Reading in the front bedroom by the window on this humid afternoon while the surprisingly cool breeze blew in and grey argosies of washy clouds floated past, the bit of my brain that wasn't in Ankh-Morpork was seeing forgotten bits of Japan, streets in Ueno or fields in Shizuoka. Must be the repetition of 'moist' that did it.)
Err- now that I have an extra paperback copy of Thud, do you want it or should I stick it out on the lawn for someone to take?

In the novel Jingo, after returning from his trip to Klatch and under the island of Leshp aboard the Boat with Fred Colon, Nobby Nobbs, and Leonard of Quirm, Lord Rust, interim Patrician, orders Vetinari's arrest for treason. Initially, Vimes and Carrot both refuse, however Vetinari is quite insistent on explaining himself in court. This is when Vimes finally consents to ordering Vetinari's arrest.
Thanks for the offer <333 But, better offer it to the highest bidder at a garage sale. Minimal cost/maximal profit to you and maximal happiness to recipient ^^ (I read the hardcover from the public library a few months ago. Yeah, still a book-free nomad.)

I don't garage sale. Too much effort. I just leave a box of books on the lawn for people to take if they like.

Re books in lawn: Must be nice living in the neighborhood <3 Being a baglady-wanna-be, I always pay attention to what people leave in the void spaces at my place (something like this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_deck) but not really since I don't live in one of those peasant breeding units =P). There is a wide variety - in furniture-ish stuphs. But never a book.
But how about giving to libraries? You get to traumatize more people that way :D

Libraries tend to be swamped with offers. It's precisely *because* they were selling off their Pratchetts that I started reading. However I shall save this one for tradesies at the 2nd hand book place across from my doctor's, next time I get up there.
