“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.” This is my second dive into the world of Terry Pratchett, and unfortuantly I didn't enjoy this book as much as Mort. I found it...
There's not much I can say about this book. It has Death, one of my favorite characters in Discworld, losing his job and getting a normal job. Yes, it is as funny as it sounds. As always there's a side story that is connected to the main story. And as always, I wasn't as much a fan of the side story...
Reaper Man is the second book in the Death subseries of the Discworld universe. In this book, Death essentially gets fired for having developed too much of an individual personality. Until somebody can be found to replace him, people aren’t dying properly. There are two main characters in the sto...

DEATH is not only the main character of "Reaper Man", he becomes a humorous metaphorical concept in the hands of Terry Pratchett when imagining if the Grim Reaper got replaced and the consequence to the Disc. Pratchett is at his comical and narrative best, further developing previously established c...
Mi hermano me dice que, como fue mi cumpleaños, tiene pensado regalarme libros.-¡Si!- digo yo, saltando en una pata.-Haceme una lista de que autores te gustan.Le hago una lista de casi 20 autores, le marco las prioridades, le anoto los títulos que ya tengo de cada uno y, además, le hago una lista ex...
Some days a book on the shelf just happens to catch your eye as you walk past, and you think, "Yes! That is exactly what I want to read today!" So you do. And Death takes a (working) holiday, and life is bursting out all over, and the plot is silly, and the characters are so engaging, and you've rea...
