Maybe he's trying to tell us that death is just as misunderstood as The Hiver? that yeah, death sucks donkey balls, but it's not something we should be terrified of.

You are right about Petulia: I almost cheered when she stood up to Annagramma.<br /><br />5. Mr Pratchett's Death is a truly inspired creation and he is almost always hilarious with his world-weary sarcasm . . . and he has a horse called Binky! <br /><br />6. I so wanted to know what the 'pig trick' was . . . and how she could possibly do it with a sausage! :DLooks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-43812170049667634692013-04-04T14:51:57.417-04:002013-04-04T14:51:57.417-04:00That sounds totally reasonable to me.

I suppose none of that really matters in Miss Level's little town. Companionship (and sexy companionship) is definitely not a bad thing.<br /><br />I read "Reaper Man". It was actually my first Discworld novel, and I was so sold. It was hilarious!!<br /><br />Haha possibly... I would like to see that trick.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-36111599507136804262013-04-04T14:49:06.749-04:002013-04-04T14:49:06.749-04:00Yeah, I guess you're right-- none of this will...Yeah, I guess you're right-- none of this will probably affect Annagramma. But at least it will affect Petulia and the others :).<br /><br />I do like the fact that he got a second wind! I guess I just couldn't quite reign in my cynicism on that question. <br /><br />I read one book that featured Death as a main character, and it was hilarious. I think it was "Reaper Man".Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-3011849910990572722013-04-03T21:31:43.523-04:002013-04-03T21:31:43.523-04:00I've known elderly couples who decided to keep...I've known elderly couples who decided to keep 2 separate houses and just get together for company and sexy time. Perhaps Mr. Weavall and Widow Tussy will do the same thing. <br /><br />Death is a great character in this series. I have read some of the books that feature him and they are very, very funny. Have you read those? <br /><br />Petulia + Pig trick + Sausage = Appropriate for adult audiences only!nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-43459270394961068702013-04-03T17:27:30.774-04:002013-04-03T17:27:30.774-04:00I thought it was great the way Petulia came on and...I thought it was great the way Petulia came on and it was a total high five moment when she told Annagramma not to interrupt. The thing is with Annagramma is that she's one of those people who it all washes over.<br />The beauty of Mr Weavall and Widow Tussy is, even though they've lived alone so long and used to doing their own thing, they probably can't hear each other properly! I sort of like the fact that he got a second wind.<br />I loved the whole issue with the Hiver - not that they tried to kill it but that they gave it peace.<br />Death was a great character - I understand he's in other discworld stories so I'd be interested in those.<br />I loved the ending. She went to her safe place - so true.<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.com
