Reminds me of Sam Vines seeing his younger self and thinking “Thirty damn years of being hammered on the anvil of life, you poor bastard. You’ve got it all to come”

The boots theory of high school classmates?

  More like the Vimes Unified Theory of Adulthood
  
  Another gem from that theory:
  
  “That was always the dream, wasn’t it? ‘I wish I’d known then what I know now’? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn’t YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp”

    Hard to pick a favorite out of 42 books, but Night Watch is easily the finest.

    For me it’s a toss up between Night Watch and Reaper Man. Probably NW by a Librarian’s hair
    
    How they do rise up
