Book 4!

  • Feb. 2nd, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Travelling across the country has put me a wee bit behind how awesomely I was doing to start the year. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into the reading groove.

Book 4 was Soul Music by Terry Pratchett. I don't think I can say how much I adore the discworld books. This one was fantastically funny and introduces my now second favorite character, Susan, to the series (my favorite being Death). Basically, rock music i.e. music with rocks in, gets introduced to the disc via some meddling god-type and it sweeps the disc in it's fever. Susan ends up doing Death's job for him since he is...trying to sort some things out, essentially. And as always, while the book is hilariously funny, there's a lot of deep stuff lying underneath the giggles.

I finished this book up shortly after driving across the country. Most of it was read out loud by either myself or my boyfriend to keep the person driving alert and awake. And also snickering.

This was always one of my favourite Discworld books. I always enjoy the ones where Death plays a big role the most.
