Short-lived bridge project for the musicians, but this is quite a solid entry ... Not sure about the package, though.

I could never enjoy doing this. I would be far too stressed about screwing up.
It's just wood . . . and money . . . and time.I could never enjoy doing this. I would be far too stressed about screwing up.

You know, after reading "Reaper Man", Death actually became one of my favourite Discworld characters ... and this doesn't half look like himIt's only two days after Halloween but... I still find myself missing parts of it. Not the trick-or-treaters this year - there were none, in the new pandemic-altered reality - but the costumed revelers on the street, the sense of pageant, the feeling that old rituals can somehow be re-enacted, in visible ways.
So, my Pumpkins - and the robed skeleton of Death who sits behind them clutching his toy scythe - are still sitting on my front porch.

I've read dozens of the Discworld novels - but "Reaper Man" is not among them -- THANK YOU, Matt! You've just made my day, another Discworld novel awaits... which in a year and a season filled with often difficult news, is a great piece of news for me.You know, after reading "Reaper Man", Death actually became one of my favourite Discworld characters ... and this doesn't half look like him
It's important that someone cares - even if HE's the ultimate reality ... I think the fact that Terry Pratchett created several characters like him (or even more humane) that has a major pull for me: They're cynical to the bone, but can't not care: "Those who can have to speak up for those as can't." (Granny Weatherwax, the senior witch who really hates having to be the "good" one ... because the bad ones get all the fun.)

All Tiffany Aching novels are eminently readable, even the last one which - due to his illness and impending death (ha!) appears a bit hodgepodge, but the core is true Pratchett to the very end.I've read dozens of the Discworld novels - but "Reaper Man" is not among them -- THANK YOU, Matt!

As a side note, some of Mr. Pratchett's We Free Men series are among my favorites - and hearing lines of dialogue from some of them will still provoke uncontrollable laughter or grins, in yours truly.
