One of my favourite is in one book the boogeyman is in a bar being menacing. So someone throws a tiny blanket over his eyes and he goes into an extastential crisis as he can't figure out if he exists or not. Very funny and clever

Just read that part in "Thief of time."

Still reading his collection. All brilliant.

Up to 'going postal' at the moment so the books are running out.

Damn "Night Watch" was an extraordinary novel. Brilliant.
