(Non-fannish folk, not to worry, I'm almost done spamming you with Snowflake posts, and should go back to my regular 2/week posting schedule once we're past the first half of January. Just bear with my annual spike of fannish enthusiasm for a bit more!)

(But I could also be biased since, hey, favorite book. :P)

Hehehe. :D I suspect I would -- I vaguely recall one of my frustrations with Making Money was that, while it stood alone reasonably well, the references it did make back to Going Postal just seemed so much more interesting than the current goings-on. :'D

I feel like Vimes, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg(?) are the ones who tend to get quotes posted on tumblr most frequently, and I've liked pretty much every quote I've run across, so I suspect you're right. :D

... Lol now I'm getting the urge to go dig up the last thread we had with Discworld recs and start actually reading one of them. :'D I think we ended up deciding probably Guards! Guards!, Maskerade (K rec for reasons of Phantom of the Opera references :D) or ... one of the other Witches books? Sounds like I should toss Going Postal in too :D and I think Monstrous Regiment got mentioned at one point for being the Girl Crossdresses To Do X trope, which is also a fave of mine. XD

(... Now, whether I will actually start any of these before I get distracted back onto finishing NYV and starting Provenance and Oathbringer and whatever else is an entirely different question. XD)

Maskerade is also fun! and can be read "out of order", inasmuch as Discworld ha an order at all. And, yeah, Monstrous Regiment is basically the Girl Crossdresses trope dialed to, well, at least 15, honestly :P (Some Discworld fans don't like that book, but I liked it just fine, and I think you would, too.)
