I finished Reaper Man yesterday and it is probably my favorite Discworld novel so far. Rather philosophical, without being stuck-up.
Oh and there was also

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a wizard wearing a bandana, a zombie, a wizard-zombie and an orangutan, all in a trolley being pushed away from an exploding mall by another wizard.

Reaper Man is pretty good. Have you read Soul Music and Carpe Jugulem yet?

[Tack]

Yeah, the "build up of spirit" from reaper man is as entertaining as the "build up of belief" from hogfather.

Nope, but I have like five other Discworld books laying around. Or at least three, Small Gods, Witches Abroad and Guards! Guards!.

And it's technically a buildup of life, not spirit (which doesn't actually make that much sense since humans just become ghosts and the minor Deaths were apparently finished rather quickly)

so usually my JROTC instructors just kinda sweep me to the side for just about everything because im a pretty calm person and don't flip out on things
well when im missing parts of my uniform because of this i get mad

They literal did everything i asked them

made my morning so much better

[Arx]

I actually have time to sit and plan fun stuff for dem little kiddies. This hasn't happened in ages.

Oh, Small Gods! Another favorite. The other two are good as well, and Witches Abroad has a really clever moment with mirrors.

Read through Small Gods without getting the pun of the protagonist's name, then I handed the book to my brother. He gets it immediately, starts laughing his ass off, and explains why.

[Arx]

The protagonist (a monk) is named Brutha.

On a slightly more subtle note, at the beginning, Brutha's superior is called Nhumrod.

As per Carpe Jugulum, I have a really love-hate kinda thing for it myself. The story, for the most part, is cool, and Pratchett once again 'rips off' a plot not yet even half-formed by the more known version at the time of publishing the book, but the ending is really grating for me in how Sueish Granny Weatherwax becomes. She essentially Deus Ex Machinas the entire resolution.

[Darvi]

*late to the party*

Seriously I thought it was pronounced "Broo-tah" or something.

[Sirus]

Is this some mythology gag I don't get?

EDIT: Oh, I just realised. Brother.

And Nhumrod. Nimrod.

Dammit, you ninja-edited me >:C

[WillowLuman]

And it's not just "brother" as in monk, but also as in "help a brutha out, mang." Had a similar moment of fridge hilarity with "Djelebebi"

And Hersheba is named specifically because of people not getting Djelibeybi.

Aaaand did not get that one until just now.

[Fniff]

I just finished SPERLUNKY, MOTHERFUCKERS! And YES, I did it all in ONE GO.
*fistpumps uncontrollably*

[Dutchling]

Did you finish the hidden levels too?
