Reading Roundup Wrapup: September 2019

Pick of the month: Jingo by Terry Pratchett. I don't know if this is the best City Watch novel, but it is the best of the three I read this month. Great satire-- and like the best satire, as painful as it is hilarious. A funny and harsh take on how easily we mobilize against those unlike us. Pratchett always plots quite masterfully, but everything comes together in this novel in a way that is somehow utterly inspiring and utterly deflating at the same time. Bingley bingley beep!

All books read:
1. Feet of Clay: A Novel of Discworld by Terry Pratchett
