![]() The Watch doesn’t exactly have a great reputation: it only has few men ( Captain Vimes, Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs, who walks around with a certificate attesting that he’s human), they’re commanded by an alcoholic, and they go out of their way not to get into trouble. But beyond my memories, let’s actually start writing about Guards! Guards!, the eighth book of the Discworld and first of the successful series of the City Watch, the guards of Ankh-Morpork. ![]() Some of the other numerous reasons include the fact that it’s an amazing book, it introduces memorable characters like Sam Vimes, Nobby Nobbs and Carrot Ironfoundersson, and part of its plot was used in wonderful (and difficult!) videogame simply called Discworld that I remember playing on the Amiga in the mid-nineties. And this is just one of the reasons why this book has a special place in my heart. It was recommended to me by a couple of friends and I easily found in the Trinity College Dublin library where I was studying in late 2007. ![]() Guards! Guards! is the first Discworld book I read. ![]()
