I was reading this to my son when that train crashed and burned in Quebec, destroying so much property and killing all those people. I watched the news and listened to the new owner of the company in question defend his methods of making more money by cutting expenses -- specifically, expenses like ...

I’m reading the Discworld series out of sequence but I like everything I’ve read so far. This is the installment #33, one of the latest ones, and it’s not nearly as funny as the earlier books. This novel is more serious; it might even be called tragic… as only a Discworld book could get. I mean, Pra...

This review is for the audiobook narrated by Stephen Briggs.The only Discworld book I'd encountered before this was Monstrous Regiment, and it wasn't really my thing--so I had minimal expectations for Going Postal. I'm glad I gave it a chance though because I found it to be delightfully witty. The c...

One of my favourite Discworld novels - although I'm sure I've said that more thank once.The way terry Pratchett plays with worlds is great - it adds to the pace and humour of this hilarious novel.

A golem parole o...

Moist van Lipwig, con artist extraordinaire, finds himself at a crossroads in his life. Lord Vetinari, Ankh-Morpork's very own tyrant, saves him from being hanged and gives him a choice: die, or accept to be the city's new postmaster. This is easier said than done: the Post Office's staff is reduced...

I’ll probably lose some geek-cred by saying so, but this is only the third Terry Pratchett book I’ve read (fourth, if you count Good Omens). I read The Colour of Magic many years ago when I was still in high school, and didn’t think much of it. Later, I read Equal Rites, and found it to be more in...

Moist Von Lipwig not only has a contender for the world's most ludicrous name, he's also a swindler with a whole host of other names that he adopts at will. So it is Alfred Spangler that is currently about to be hanged from the neck until he is dead - only it doesn't quite work like that... Instead ...

If you're Pratchett's fan, you gonna love this book regardless what I write. I really enjoyed this one. The author's sense of humor is brilliant. The story tells about a con who convinced to death didn't die. To live he needs to agree to take part in the operation post-office. And he agrees. Then th...
