	Pam's Book Log
		While the Monks of History may be technically human, their entire operation flies in the face of that philosophy.
		The idea that there's a "right" history and a "wrong" one smacks of predetermination, and the existence of a secret cadre who make it their business to determine what is the "correct" history, and use their special powers to make sure it happens is nothing but enforced predetermination, which I find even more unappealing.
		The monks say that Vimes' choices are important, et cetera, et cetera, but the very fact of their existance argues that it's really only their choices-- how they choose to manipulate the lesser mortals in order to produce the "correct" sequence of events-- which ultimately matters.

	The History of Crowland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		To prove that they had sole claim to the abbey's lands, the Crowland monks presented the court with a volume known as the Historia Crowlandensis (or History of Crowland), that was a string of historical land charters woven together into a general history of the abbey.
		The History and charters were accepted as legitimate, the Crowland monks won their case, and the abbey, for the moment, was safe.
		But for later generations of scholars, the fact that the Crowland monks won their case was less interesting than was the History of Crowland itself, since the document provided a rare written record of centuries of medieval church life.
