under orders

[cymry]

"What do you want?"
"Nothing, sir," said Corporal Colon.
"Then you can push off!"
"Can't do that, sir. I'm under orders."
(...)
"Orders to do what, mister," said one of them, looming over Colon.
There was a sigh and a soft thud behind him.
"Be a decoy?" quavered Colon.
- "Night Watch," Terry Pratchett

Dear Faraz:
Shame on you for mixing your metter-fores in public company sir!
It's not supposed to make sense. It's 2 am and I can't get back to sleep.

Dear Mr Pratchett:
More Witch stories please. Thank you.
Screaming fangirl

Dear Mel:
Please recommend a book (not necessarily Pratchett) that I simply must read. I asked a similar question of Erika and I really enjoyed her recommendation.

hmm, now that's a tough one, considering i'm not sure quite what you read (other than pratchett, obviously).

if you like sci-fi, read "In Conquest Born" by C.S. Friedman. the sequel just came out recently.

if you like fantasy, read "Kusiel's Dart" by Jacqueline Carey

if you like teen novels, read "A Great & Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray or "Trickster's Choice" by Tamora Pierce

if you're in the mood to try something interesting & historical, try "Lady of Hay" by Barbara Erskine
