'Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum amount of moo.'

Another highly entertaining Discworld novel. Loved Nobby and Colon getting some more page time here. As Pratchett always does, he provides more great social commentary, specifically on war and politics in this City Watch adventure. He's such a clever writer, always making things humourous yet impactful. 

Poor Nobby catching so many strays though 😭

'Rather a lonely person, our Nobby,' said Carrot.

'Well, yes ...'

'But I'm sure he'll find the right person for him,' Carrot added, cheerfully.

Probably in a bottle, said Angua to herself. She remembered the conversation with him. It was a terrible thing to think, but there was something itchy about the thought of Nobby being allowed in the gene pool, even at the shallow end."
