Journal Entry 1 by redbandita from Amsterdam, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Tuesday, September 2, 2003
German version. I would love to have the English version...
Original title: "Guards! Guards!"
Great entry into the Nighwatch series of the Discworld novels! I loved it!
This is where the dragons went.
They lie ... not dead, not asleep, but ... dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there's a key ...
Guards! Guards! is the eighth Discworld novel - and after this, dragons will never be the same again!
Quotes wanted? Here they come:
FABRICATI DIEM, PVNC.
-- The motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)
All dwarfs are by nature dutiful, serious, literate, obedient and thoughtful people whose only minor failing is a tendency, after one drink, to rush at enemies screaming "Arrrrrrgh!" and axing their legs off at the knee.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)
He nodded to the troll which was employed by the Drum as a splatter [footnote: Like a bouncer, but trolls use more force].
-- Nobby takes Carrot for a drink in The Mended Drum (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)
Lady Ramkin's bosom rose and fell like an empire.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)
It's a metaphor of human bloody existence, a dragon. And if that wasn't bad enough, it's also a bloody great hot flying thing.
-- Captain Vimes ponders his problems (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)
The three rules of the Librarians of Time and Space are: 1) Silence; 2) Books must be returned no later than the date last shown; and 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)
