In Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett the Death of Discworld finds himself out of a job when the powers that be fire him for developing a personality. Death is now mortal and must live out the rest of his numbered days among humans until the new Death arrives to take him away. With the Disc temporarily w...
He's done it again.My favourite of all of the Discworld novels.Death is a fascinating character, and seeing his strain of humanity just makes him all the more so.Reaper Man is HILARIOUS.

It's fitting that I finished this book on Easter morning, I think. It's all about life and death, and Death IN CAPITAL LETTERS, and a wizard named Windle Poons.
