Wow.

Holy crap, I finished Going Postal in like, hours.

It's really good. It's about Enron, and local phone monopolies, and entirely NOT, too. But you can tell he knew what he was talking about. Many many things it's about. And yes, it makes Vetrinari a very interesting figure. And more like what our politicians should be like, in some ways.

It's an inhaler, isn't it? Couldn't put it down. One of the better books of late.

I whole-heartedly agree with Colin. 'Inhaler' is the word and Pratchett just seems to be getting better and better at making them.

I wish more politicians would read Pratchett's work. If nothing else it would keep them out of our view for a few hours.
