Der Gauner Feucht von Lipwig wird dazu verdonnert, die heruntergekommene Post der Scheibenwelt wieder auf Vordermann zu bringen, denn im alten Postamt von Ankh-Morpork ruht die Arbeit seit vielen Jahren. Feucht ist dabei so erfolgreich, dass er sich den Zorn der Konkurrenz vom Großen Strang der Klacker zuzieht. Ein öffentlicher Wettstreit soll die Entscheidung bringen: „Postkutsche gegen Klacker“ – wer kann eine Nachricht schneller in das zweitausend Meilen entfernte Gennua bringen?

I can't believe I ever thought this was boring

5 stars

so this is actually my second read through of this book, the first one being over 15 years ago. I only remembered finding this book a little boring, and thinking Moist was low key obnoxious. frankly, I don't know what the heck was wrong with me. this book is hilarious. I'm also realizing how many other "stand alone" discworld novels feature proto-Moists. anyhow, Vetinari is at his tyrannical best, Moist is hilarious and layered, Miss Dearheart is hardly even in this novel but is easily my favorite character, and the idea of dueling con men is more relevant than ever. strong five stars.
