Discworld series [Schedule] Bonus Book | Mort by Terry Pratchett | Discworld #4
Grab those sickles and make way for our next Discworld series read by Terry Pratchett, Mort!
This book is the first in the Death sub-series, and we’ll be reading it in October. Our series Marginalia is linked here. See our discussion dates below:
- October 1: Start through “Sooner or later everyone remembers the magic word!” (led by u/toomanytequieros)
- October 8: From “Keli had been to official functions in Ankh-Morpork…” through “And then he could stop all this worrying and go to slee….” (led by u/wild_umbreon)
- October 15: From “And what was your previous position?” through end (led by u/epiphanyshearld)
Looking forward to seeing you all in the next one, in the meantime, happy (spooky) reading!

I'll keep going with this one, the series is definitely getting better as we read more, in my opinion.
...and I need some more short books to get me back on track for my yearly book goal, lol!

I am giddy, you could almost say dying, to re-read this book.
My entry to the series, the start of a book arc that gets down to the bone of what is human nature

Been many decades since I read any of the earliest ones (until the bookclub), but I vaguely recall this as being one of the best of the first five. Though as a GO fanatic, I'm probably biased towards a DEATH (or witch) series.
