Bank of America enrolls you in "Credit Protection Plus" without your permission

I have a BoA credit card and every once in a while they call me about this protection program they have. The first one really scared me, because the way they phrase the call at first it sounds like someone has stolen your card and wrecking your credit.

Reminds me of Terry Pratchett books where Fred Colon would stand on the bridge all night instead of patrolling to make sure no one would steal it.

Pratchett's Discworld: a reading-order guide

September 30, 2007 2:11pm

Personally, I think the order written is the best way to read them. Sure they are not chronologically in order, but when you are reading them you know as much as Pratchett does about what is going on, at least in the large scale of things. If there is a cameo by a character, you'll have read the book they were introduced. There are tons of little cameos and inside jokes that are from earlier books, that if you don't read in written order you'll miss out on.
