E10_Reaper_Man

from Discworld Order Hosted by Discworld Order

Patrick W Reed returns, joining Mark to discuss the eleventh Discworld novel, Reaper Man. We look at the books sentimentality, the silliness of it's B plot and we even ask the question: Is it Pratchett's most English novel? Other discussion points include: practical women, Pratchett's lack of trust in his skills, dated references, Vampires as a class construct, Mystic Meg, The Simpsons and the context of common quotations. Please note that there are some spoilers for future Discworld novels.
