RE: Reaper Man By Terry Prachett - Review In the Dark

2 years ago

I always loved Terry Prachett because of his weird an unexpected comparisons and descriptions. His stories are really fun, but those comparisons and descriptions always crack me up. And Reper Man has a decent amount of them.

"He said that there was death and taxes, and taxes was worse, because at least death didn’t happen to you every year."

i took Making Money with me to Amsterdam, like maybe i will read it while in the train and waiting for it, but no :D

Our very own Bill Door makes an appearance on my post - I'm honoured! !LOL

Making money was one of my favourites, partly because it was the first book I read, partly because it was my first encounter with Moist Von Lipwig! And also the first book I read.

“Good heavens, potatoes are worth more than gold!”
“Surely not!”
“If you were shipwrecked on a desert island, what would you prefer, a bag of potatoes or a bag of gold?”
“Yes, but a desert island isn’t Ankh-Morpork!”
“And that proves gold is only valuable because we agree it is, right? It’s just a dream. But a potato is always worth a potato, anywhere. Add a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and you’ve got a meal, anywhere. Bury gold in the ground and you’ll be worrying about thieves forever. Bury a potato and in due season you could be looking at a dividend of a thousand percent.”

Potatoes are gold!

I managed to only read 20 pages on a train station :) but from this quote it looks like it is a good one :)
