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.
Fantastically funny and always driving forward, this is one of my favorite Discworld books. Moist proves that there are bad guys and then there are bad guys as he turns his unique talents into a working Post Office for the functionally dysfunctional city of Anhk-Morpork. In his way?

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...
