Going Postal (Revised) | Terry Pratchett, Terence David John Pratchett
1442 posts | 201 read | 3 reading | 85 to read
Terry Pratchett puts his stamp on the new Discworld novel. Moist von Lipwig was a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork s ailing postal service back on its feet. It was a tough decision. But he s got to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer. Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too. Maybe it ll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it s a death sentence either way. Or perhaps there s a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who s prepared to push the envelope..."

I know I recently reread Snuff and Thud!, but honestly THIS is currently in contention for my favourite Discworld book. It's so wonderful to reread! Like an adventure that doesn't require a road trip, the sneaky thinking, the big ideas, the almost accidentally redemptive quality, the darkly and slyly and then broadly humourous, the smidgen of the fantastical that doesn't overwhelm with world building, that is basically just enchanting background,

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 but somehow how it all ends up being an open acknowledgement of a cynical worldview, of the unethical elements in a corrupt city, while also satisfying the faith of hope through people who choose to help others. Has a few touching/dark moments, but the overall feeling is not just fun, but triumphant. Pratchett's magic. 🥹 11mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I will definitely be rereading the other Moist von Lipwig books (Making Money, Raising Steam) next. 😁

According to my excel sheet there are still some people who have not posted that they sent their boxes out. I may have missed your post. If I did not like or comment on that post, comment below. If you haven't sent your package out yet you are living on the edge (you are welcome for Aerosmith living in your head right now). Post when you do send it out. And Harpy IS judging you. She judged me when I sent mine out too.
