“I keep coming back to the Watch books when I reread the Discworld. Feet of Clay is a favorite because I like the golems so much.

Plot description: Someone is killing old men while someone else is poisoning the Patrician, Lord Vetinari.
I keep returning to the Discworld books over and over – this has to be the fifth or sixth time I’ve read Feet of Clay, at least. Sometimes I take it off the self to read the story of Vimes against the vampire Dragon King of Arms of the Ankh-Morpork Royal College of Heralds. I always seem to forget that the Dragon is in this one because he’s really not the point.
Other times, I search this book out because I want to read how Dorfl the golem joined the City Watch. I always remember Dorfl’s in Feet of Clay – aside from the obvious clue in the title – because it’s his journey that resonates with me.
The mysteries are good with a clever solution for on and a sad one for the other. The complexities arising from the crimes are satisfying, while also providing some of Pratchett’s trademark satire. But as with anything, it’s the relationships that keep me returning. And Pratchett never forgets that it’s the characters that matter in a good story.
”“3rd city watch book, the sequels just get better.”

“Gotta love Terry Pratchett! There's an absolutely brilliant passage about how rumors are transmitted in this book (ie. they're such distilled forms of knowledge they no longer need people to survive) !”
