This morning, I spent the hours between 8:30 and 11 listening the audiobook of Making Money and knitting. Thus far, I have finished one fingerless glove. (They are...not the arm warmer/glove things that I linked to before because those turned out to be boring. They are other gloves instead.) Turns out that I have done the pattern stitch on the first glove a little bit wrong the whole time - that's what happens when you assume you know what something means rather than going to look it up - but I like the way it looks well enough, so I don't mind doing the other glove wrong to match. 8)

Also, I have discovered that I actually quite like Making Money. I had thought that I didn't much. I keep rereading it because I read Going Postal and think "I would really like more books with Moist von Lipwig in them," and, y'know, there's another book. But I am always vaguely disappointed with it, somehow. Apparently, I just needed to get an audiobook version because I'm really enjoying listening to it. Perhaps it's due to the fact that audiobooks always feel paced a little different? I don't know, but I'm glad it's happened, really.

Alas, now I have to be at work and can therefore neither knit nor listen to audiobooks.

I really did not enjoy Going Postal! *weird fan out* I think I would like Moist much better as a secondary character than a narrator. I love the city's development, but Moist just makes me not care. :( I liked Making Money -- even though it is basically the same book -- a bit more just because of the Vetinari scenes.

It is so weird, because I'm one of those fans that even likes Rincewind, and yet here I am, grumbling whenever I hear about the Taxes book.
