I am currently rather enjoying my first read-through of the Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett. As of today, I am a stone's throw away from finishing Interesting Times and starting Maskerade (probably later tonight).
The quote below was the first quote that I deemed worthy of retaining for posterity, upon my first reading of The Colour of Magic.
----------------------------------
"His was the air of one who is unjustly put upon, who is dreaded and feared, yet who is the only friend of the poor and the best doctor for the mortally wounded....
Death, although exceptionally busy at all times, decided that He now had a hobby."
From: "The Colour of Magic" by Sir Terry Pratchett (1983)

Watching Good Omens S3:Ep1. In which a gangster boss and a demon play Monopoly.
Gangster: You've gotta own everything, and you leave everyone else penniless, crushed, and miserable.
Demon: Sounds like a game only a human could invent.
Gangster: You can be The Shoe.
(A little while later … )
Gangster: Oh dear … that kind of, like, wipes you out … though, still, it's a bloody good game, eh? Penniless, crushed, and miserable.
