A few lines from Mort by Terry Pratchett, the last being my offering for #SundaySentence:

"In short, Mort was one of those people who are more dangerous than a bag full of rattlesnakes. He was determined to discover the underlying logic behind the universe.

Which was going to be hard, because there wasn't one. The Creator had a lot of remarkably good ideas when he put the world together, but making it understandable hadn't been one of them."

Finally on holiday and treating myself to this little gem: OverLondon by @georgepenney and Tony Johnson (no masto that I know of?). About a quarter in now and absolutely loving it.
A great bit of world building, just enough sprinkles of fantasy to make it interesting (but not too much for me thank you), an unexpected whodunnit setup, loads of humor and wonderful characters. Beaming this to all #TerryPratchett fans out there: it will hit that spot. Jolly good read!

Another Discworld book finished, number 21, over half way now. I loved Jingo, because it highlights the readiness people have to judge and "hate" each other if they're slightly different and because they're told to. Something that is, sadly, still too prevalent as when Sir Terry wrote it in 1997.

Might take a break from Discworld for a bit and try Brandon Sanderson's Storm light Archive.

Quite often, you'll get someone popping up and saying "Oh my god, Terry Pratchett was a visionary who predicted all of this stuff, because he wrote about it in <book>"

He wasn't a visionary, at least not in that regard, he was highly observant though.

We humans are, by and large, idiots who fall for the same divisive tactics over and over again. So it's more a case of same shit different decade.
