Yes, but you have to give props to Corporal Nobbs, who has to carry around a paper certifying that he is actually human.

And Lord Vetinari, who could give lessons to Machiavelli.

I had to send back the last book to the library unfinished. Snuff was pretty good, but a slow read. I do enjoy reading of Vimes' attempts at domesticity.

Now, see, I really liked Snuff, but struggled with Unseen Academicals.

That the one about Soccer. Loved it. Especially the glimpse into Unseen University. There was one bit with the wizards playing some ridiculous game from a book since it was 'tradition'. Poor Rincewind.
