As for Theodore's evil smile - with all that burden on his shoulders, the poor guy is too beaten to attempt anything.

While I have read a few (far too few) of the Discworld books, I can't, at the moment, recall the N-word.

Edit:
I just realized how that might look to people who haven't read Discworld. For the record, the N-word in question is not related to any race, religion, skin color, minority, etc.

Still, if you've only read a few of the Discworld books, it very much depends on which few those are. This reference is from the books about Death and related characters.

Actually, I do believe the N-word reference might well be from Soul Music.
Regarding reading order, I advise one of two methods: either read the books in the order they were written, or read one "sub-series" (Rincewind, The Witches, Death, The City Watch, etc.) at a time, but still in the order those books were written. The first method will ensure you don't miss anything, but the second is likely more enjoyable. My favourite sub-series is The City Watch.

I tried getting them in some form of sensible order, but after a while I just kind of gave up and got whichever one I found regardless of which order they come in - then I gave up entirely on trying to find the whole collection in Swedish, and the next book I found was apparently Raising Steam. I would love to find them as DRM-free ebooks, but try as I might, I can only find them covered in some Adobe DRM mess, which doesn't seem to mesh very well with Linux.
EDIT: I have a slight feeling the language I read Soul Music in might have been one of the reasons I can't remember the N-word. Either that or the Klatchian Foreign Legion.

When I saw the little indicator that a GOG staffer had posted in here, I was hoping Konrad or someone dropped a code just to mess with everyone. :)
I know nothing about Discworld, but I strongly suspect the "N-word" being referred to is "neverm--" AAAAAHH!!! MY EEEYE!!!

I had the same problem when I originally read the Harry Potter books. Someone had given me the first three books in Danish, so I read those like that. When I then bought book #4 in English I was thoroughly confused to begin with, because in Harry Potter most of the supporting characters have "meaningful" names, so they are called something different in Danish. Hence, when I started on book #4 I had no idea who half the characters were, even though it was clear that I was supposed to know them already.
