Going postal discworld5/13/2023 They were all cleverly constructed and very interesting. I liked the secondary characters a lot too. He was just my type of a main character, crooked and wicked, but motivated to achieve more aware of his flaws, morally ambiguous, willing to take a wild chance Attempting to do the impossible, because where is the challenge, otherwise? I found Moist mightily gratifying to read about. The struggle against the easy way out, which is to just take what you want (and not even need), as opposed to struggling and fighting for what’s worth it. Moist, as a character, is a personification of the efforts to be good. It was a good way of getting poorer really very quickly, and staying poor. “And this was known as the greatest of treasures, which is Hope. Whatever else is happening in this book, it’s actually a wide frame of the story of hope. Going Postal is essentially a book about hope. Which was my reason to postpone reading this book after I suffered from a severe Terry Pratchett fatigue. I saw the Going Postal movie no fewer than 3 years ago and I loved it. After that, the list gets blurrier, but nevertheless, Going Postal is among best. That is to say, Equal Rites will ALWAYS be my favourite, as it was my first, and the one that got me into Terry Pratchett to begin with. Going Postal definitely ranks among my top 3 Discworld books.
