This is a placeholder.

From Wikipedia:

In 2004, Pratchett stated that Mort was the first Discworld novel with which he was "pleased", stating that in previous books, the plot had existed to support the jokes, but that in Mort, the plot was integral.

Over 50% done.
I like it! If it's a movie, it's probably going to be a Seth Rogan or Adam Sandler type of comedy. But it's much more impressive that the author can create various bits solely with words and puncturation.

The Hogfather is a later Diskworld book featuring Death, and the movie adaptation is really good! (My family's new favorite holiday movie!)

Finished the book today.
I like how the speed picked up towards the end.
Despite the ridiculous setting, everyone made choices well in their characters.
