I have not read the Discworld series, but this sounds insidious as Hell!!! I love it.

I asked Google Gemini for book sources, got this: "The Vetinari Clock originates from Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of books, specifically appearing in the waiting room of Lord Vetinari, a recurring character. It is first described in Feet of Clay and also features in Going Postal, where its purpose is to psychologically unsettle visitors by ticking irregularly while still maintaining accurate time"

Don't post AI generated content. If I wanted to read slop, I could generate it myself.

I read the series on chronological order and enjoyed it. Getting to the end of the last book was sad, but on the bright side I read pretty slowly (a few pages a night before bed) and have a terrible memory for fiction so starting the cycle over and reading each book again in sequence is very nearly like reading them all again for the first time.

Hereby I give you a watch from the Watch. Sergeant Detritus will guide you further.
