Chills every time

this is one of the Pratchett quotes that makes me tear up, more often than not. A big reason Reaper Man is on my top-5 list.

Reaper Man at the age of 15 was an incredible introduction to the Discworld. It's such a poignant story. I didn't appreciate how bittersweet it is when I was young.

Don’t be fleshist, dude.

This is probably my favourite from Reaper Man.

Small Gods is my favorite book, but this may be my favorite Discworld quote

Took me a second but I like the way you think

sometimes I think death was his favorite character

OH. DRAMA.

Still one of my favorite bits of writing (in the series or otherwise)

Puts Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't fear the reaper" on the stereo. Notes that it does need more cowbell.

Reaper Man was my first 'yes I am buying my own copy even though the library has it and I read it there first just because it might go away' book purchase ever. And yes it was one of the response-takes-the-whole-page editions.

Theologians have written entire treatises groping to convey what Pratchett does here in a single line.

'What can the harvest hope for, if not the care of the reaper man?" That's a solid line.

just read it - YES took up the whole page!

I love it when books are formatted in such a way that physically turning the page leads to a big impressive reveal like this. Ben Hatke’s graphic novels are also very good at this, especially “Mighty Jack” and “Mighty Jack and the Goblin King.”

At the least, the man's gotta be a Vonnegut fan.

Thank you for listening to me.

Behold, the printed enormity of Azrael.

In my copy it exists all on its own on the page

It’s not often that I see books playing around with fonts but Reaper Man in particular had some real fun with this

Indeed

Oh hey, I recently read a Discworld book on your recommends. I shall Wear Midnight. I liked it! I reckon I’ll read all of them by the by.

When pushed very hard to choose a favorite Discworld book, it is Reaperman. Mushy / hopeless sentimentalist that I am.

One of my favorite uses of alternate font of all time

This is my wife's favorite passage in literature.

It's this one, this is the best one. God, this whole book hits me like a truck but everything from this to the ending makes me *weep*
