55) "Guards! Guards!" - Pratchett
I had forgotten so much of this book. I forgot that Carrot has a stoop from banging his head on the tops of the dwarf tunnels, and that he's only sixteen years old when he joins the City Watch. I had somehow kind of forgotten how cool little Errol, the dragon who's eating everything, is. Somehow, without talking and seeming kind of like a one-trick-pony with that description, he's a character. I had forgotten how all the characters interact to produce character development. For some reason in my memory it was all Carrot driving Vimes's change of outlook and the ... revitalization of the Night Watch, when that's not really the case at all. It's a little bit Carrot, and it's something of Sybil, and it may be partly The Librarian.
