Mort is a great suggestion yeah.

Kind of funny though, reminds me of the anecdote of Terry trying to pitch a Discworld movie to Hollywood and they told him Mort would be great but they'd have to retool Death entirely.

As I recall, it was "lose the Death angle," which is even more blockheaded.

I bought The shepherd's crown the moment it was published, but until last week it sat unread in my kindle. I couldn't get myself to read what would be the last discworld book I could ever read. This week on a holiday I finally pushed myself to do it, fighting tears in the second chapter, finishing the book in two days. It was clearly unfinished, but it was a good way to end the series.

Time to start again from the beginning, I read most of the first books in dutch when I was still pretty young so it will be nice to read them in their original language now.

I have it too, I'm waiting till MarkReads gets to it.

"That’s a nice song," said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time.

'As I recall, they used to sing it after battles,' he said. I've seen old men cry when they sing it,' he added.
'Why? It sounds cheerful.'
They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.

GNU Pterry. I still remember reading the news at work and the next thing I knew kneeling on the floor sobbing.

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER
