Con artist Moist von Lipwig gets a second chance at life if he'll be the postmaster of Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service. Along the way he grows and does the "better thing" instead of what would be immediately satisfying.

It was a very long time coming, but well worth the wait. J. Michael Straczynski's intro explains why the book was delayed and provides a clear-eyed but loving epitaph for Harlan Ellison.

An engaging and wide ranging discussion of why things are sticky, geckos, swimming, airplanes, tires, tectonic plates & earthquakes, melting ice, our skin, and what items "touching" actually means. I highly recommend this!

Interesting tales of Appalachian folk tales and life from the perspective of traveling balladeer John with the silver stringed guitar. The stories were written in the y1950s so to me there is an interesting blend old ways (John walks on his travels) and more modern life (automobiles, railroad and even planes).

An interesting set of shorter fiction. It was nice to read some of Terry's earlier works and the Discworld related "extras".

The characters were interesting but the horrific details aren't something I prefer to read. It just got to be too much.

Lots of twists, turns and surprises. Feel like my emotions have gone through the wringer.

(Read this early as an ebook ARC from Goodreads giveaway.) An excellent continuation of the White Space series. Sunya and her research are the main contributors to the story progression but many other characters have important roles and contributions. Also, a little discussion about functioning societies and the obligations they entail.
