RE: Reaper Man By Terry Prachett - Review In the Dark
It is a while since I read this book, but I think I need to read the whole series again some time. My better half re-reads them a lot. Death features a lot in the books and is a great character. When I saw this post I thought of @bil.prag as he told me a while ago that his user name was influenced by this book. I got to meet him at Hivefest.
Nice review. I hope to see more from you.

LOLs i had the same conversation with @bil.prag hence i mentioned him in the text.
Glad you enjoyed the review; it was fun to write. A break from the usual mundane stuffs. I think i will keep writing them. I haven't gotten through all of Pratchett's books yet, but last year I decided to start in order and read the ones i missed. This one was great, but my favourites are those featuring the watch and the witches!

I think I have read just about all his books, including the non-Discworld ones. There is a biography of him that I may read too. I met him once at a convention many years ago.

"I expect you have a name, too," she prompted.
YES. THAT'S RIGHT.
She waited again.
I'M SORRY?
"What is your name?"
The stranger stared at her for a moment, and then looked around wildly.
"Come on," said Miss Flitworth. "l ain't employing no-one without no name. Mr... . ?"
The figure stared upwards.
MR. SKY?
"No-one's called Mr. Sky."
MR... . DOOR?
She nodded.
"Could be. Could be Mr. Door. There was a chap called Doors I knew once. Yeah. Mr. Door. And your first name? Don't tell me you haven't got one of those, too. You've got to be a Bill or a Tom or a Bruce or one of those names."
YES.
"What?"
ONE OF THOSE.
"Which one?"
ER. THE FIRST ONE?
"You're a Bill?"
YES?
Miss Flitworth rolled her eyes.
"All right, Bill Sky... " she said.
DOOR.
"Yeah. Sorry. All right, Bill Door..."
