10. Gardas! Gardas! (Terry Pratchett). Aínda somos unha lingua minorizada pero polo menos xa podemos ler a Pratchett en galego grazas a Boadicea que está a facer un traballo salientábel coas súas traducións de clásicos de xénero (Dick, Le Guin, Miéville, Stephen King en breve...). Deste libro non hai moito que dicir, creo que é a cuarta vez que o leo e así a todo desfrutei del coma se fose a primeira. Por algo moitos achamos que esta é a mellor porta de entrada ao Mundodisco. Por certo, parabéns ao tradutor por nomear a Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler como Evasivo Perdocartos. Marabilloso.

The people who really run organizations are usually found several levels down, where it is still possible to get things done.

And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.

I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.
