Second paragraph of third section:

Blood ran in a trickle across the pages of a rare volume of religious essays, which had been torn in half.

I was a bit disappointed with the last Pratchett that I reread, Men at Arms, but this turned out to still have the old magic for me. The core of it is a double magical murder and attempted murder mystery, with Vimes resolving what’s fairly obviously a golem going rogue combined with an attempt on the life of Lord Vetinari; certain circles want Nobbs to be put in as a figurehead replacement ruler, though Nobbs himself is notably not keen on the idea. There are a lot of humane reflections on power, freedom and basic decency; and there is the new Watch recruit, Cheery Littlebottom. There are some very good lines which have been collected here. I had been wondering whether to continue with my Pratchett reading project, but now I will. You can get Feet of Clay here.

This was my top unreviewed Discworld book. Next on the pile is Thief of Time.
