I have a complicated relationship with Pratchett’s books. I love his sense of humour, but there always seems to be something missing (but I kind of feel that is my fault). The beginning of this one gripped me, but the first two thirds are undoubtedly a bit weaker (still very amusing) – at this point I started a several new books and when I returned to this one it seemed like entirely new book to me. The last third of this book belongs to the best I read from Pratchett even though (or because?) he shamelessly makes fun of Zenon.
In the end its not at all surprising that this is so far probably my favourite Discworld book (in merciless combat with [b:Wyrd Sisters|833423|Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6)|Terry Pratchett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1356446482l/833423._SY75_.jpg|1494222], because this one makes fun of theme I know something about… (even though it seemed to me in places that the author could have went a bit deeper, but I guess it would become a bit too niche for most readers then…)
I might return to this one in form of an audiobook. (I was glad to found out there was an English one, because this one isn’t yet narrated in Czech, so that was a nice surprise…)
It is well known that in an infinite universe everything that can be imagined must exist somewhere, and since many of them are not things that ought to exist in a well-ordered space-time frame they get shoved into a side dimension.

“The trouble with you, Ibid,” he said, “is that you think you’re the biggest bloody authority on everything.”

The role of listeners has never been fully appreciated. However, it is well known that most people don’t listen. They use the time when someone else is speaking to think of what they’re going to say next. True Listeners have always been revered among oral cultures, and prized for their rarity value; bards and poets are ten a cow, but a good Listener is hard to find, or at least hard to find twice.
