When you buy a hardcover/paperback of a book it should have a digital code inside that lets you download the ebook so you can carry them everywhere.
I support pirated books so long as I buy them later if they’re good (the library principle?)

Fic Rec: Arranging Payment
This rec is another short gen, exploring a hidden scene in Guards Guards. It’s hilarious. That is an understatement.
That was bloody fantastic….
“It’s not my dragon”
The Wizard’s Oath in Bengali, Georgian, Gujarati, Hindi, Khmer, Lao, Marathi, Tamil, Thai, and Urdu. Other languages are so pretty!
Gah the hindi one is so horrifically wrong sounding, its pathetic… I’m guessing the other indian ones aren’t close either. It may look “pretty” but it is REALLY REALLY wrong.
So I was re-reading Guards Guards again and everyone keeps mentioning how you have to offer up the King’s daughter, Vetinari has no daughter etc… HOWEVER, as Vimes himself points out, he does have an aunt.
This Aunt is later said to have refused to be put up as reward at which point I can’t help but think of the fact that Vetinari apparently at some point actually asked Madam Roberta Meserole (of the significant pause business interests) if she’d mind being the reward for catching a dragon that was terrorizing Ankh Morpork at the time.
Can you imagine the reply? “Dear Havelock, I must admire the courage with which you sent me this ‘request’ but I’m afraid I simply can not leave Genua this month. Oh and if I ever see you again, I will pay you to kill yourself…”

This is a Title.: Goodbye, Matt Smith.
Matt Smith is not my first Doctor,
nor is he my favorite,
but he is special.
He was the first Doctor that I experienced in real time. I felt the sorrow of the situations and loss just as they happened, with the rest of the world.
I have seen him create relationships…

I just had one of those “brushing your teeth realizations.”
Young Sam’s birthday is May 25th.
No, but he was born the day after Vimes gets back from the past. Since it’s morning after that Young Sam comes along. Thus, the 26th?
I see your point, but upon checking, Vimes was only gone from original time for 30 minutes (but spent about 2 days gone) and Young Sam was born before the evening when Vimes went to go visit the cemetery. So, Quantum.
Ah, I was misled by “the sun came out” thus, I concede. I was further proven wrong by Vimes meeting Reg Shoe who wouldn’t have stayed in his grave an extra day.
