I read about 26,000 pages of Fantasy in seventeen fortnight. Mayhap, thou asketh hath this affected me? Verily, I tell thee, methinks not.
Latest read, Troll Bridge (1992) by Terry Pratchett, from After the King; aging, cigarette smoking Cohen the Barbarian reminisces about 'the old days' with a troll.
Cohen: remember the big old wars, don't you? You must have fought.
Troll: I carried a club, yeah.
Cohen: It was supposed to be for a bright new future & law & stuff. That's what people said.
Troll: Well, I fought because a big troll with a whip told me to. But I know what you mean.
