I've got no problem whatsoever reading fics on screen. My brain makes this weird distinction between "literature", which has to be enjoyed in form of a book, and "just some stuff that can be read in passing".
I can read novels on screen, though, if I don't care much about them and if I know that I would skip passages anyway. But if I truly want to indulge in a story, I want the book.
I don't like printing out at all. Dunno why. I've never truly enjoyed any fic that I printed out to read.
What I love about Vetinari is that he has this reputation of being a bloodthirsty, ruthless ruler (scorpion pit), but we never really see him do anything particularly bloodthirsty. He's pragmatic, but not unneccesserily brutal.
And, of course, he knows how to pull the strings and push people's buttons. That's not a bad quality in a man.
BTW, I can send you the Going Postal file I downloaded, if you like.
