I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

It was for the other one, the little lesson that life sometimes rams home with a stick: you are not the only one watching the world, other people are also people, while you watch them they watch you, and they think about you while you think about them. The world isn’t just about you.

Monstrous Regiment

Monstrous Regiment is not one of the best Discworld books, I'd argue. It shows Pratchett's personal politics more than other books, and its final character arc is so cheesy it's downright embarassing. That said, it stands among my five-star books because it was (and possibly is) tremendously important to me and I can't get it out of my head. Also, props for accurate depiction of what eastern Europe is like.
