473rd Verse, Same as the First
Twenty-four hours to Thud! on the wall,*
Twenty-four hours to Thud!
Take one down, fill it up with work and sleep and stuff and try not to think about how long an hour is,
Twenty-three hours to Thud! on the wall!
*Because hours are traditionally measured on clocks, and most clocks can be found on walls.

No, none of them say Discworld. Discworld is just where they are all set; it's a unifying thread in what might otherwise be a bunch of disconnected novels and thereby serves as a handy name for the series as a whole.

I must say I quite like the new covers from Corgi. They're nice and understated; they aren't a blaze of bright colours like HarperCollins' paperbacks nor are they a mass of writhing dough which is all I see whenever I look at a Josh Kirby cover. The Corgi ones also have the number in the series very discreetly emblazoned on the back (glossy black on matte black, or vice versa) as if that mattered. It's interesting, at any rate.

I agree 100%. In writing as well – I'm reading one of his earlier books right now (Sourcery) and came across this description of a staff:What a perfect description. And he's only improved. Not to mention the absence of excessive silly romances. The few there are are not silly and are entirely believable as reflected in the characters' thoughts and behaviour. He has utterly spoiled me.
