Hello everybody, I see some people know what I mean about Moist von Lipwig. Sometimes I wonder if he isn't being trained already for the top job in town, the way Vetinari watches his progress and keeps giving him tricky jobs to do. And he's one character who wouldn't find the stress too much; he needs danger t feel alive.
But the thing is, I wasn't envisioning an Ankh-Morpork without Vetinari, but anticipating a book in which Vetinari would be the main character - him and his surprise pupil, the ace in his sleeve, his bonsai mountain, so to speak - and, not to mix metaphors, it would have to be a mountain that thinks it's ten thousand feet high and has real live glaciers, and lives in a real mountain chain, instead of in someone's flower pot with an ice cube on top. Wouldn't that be an eyeful!
