Peterson's prose has gotten a bit better in subsequent works

Egads, I hope so ...

Just finished Discworld 04, Mort. It was really good. It didn’t go the way I thought it would, and I’m glad for that. Head-and-shoulders better than the first two, though I think I liked Equal Rites better as a story. I see why fans like Death so much.

Yes, the Death books are some of my favorites. Reaper Man is a strong contender for my favorite Discworld book.

Mort was my introduction to Discworld, so will always hold a special place in my heart.

Just finished Spamalot Diaries by Eric Idle. It was good. I'm glad I read it. But as I said earlier, not sure anyone outside a dedicated fan would be interested. It's all behind the scenes stuff about the late writing, early production, and up to opening night. Did learn that Spamalot is getting a North American tour starting Fall 2025. So that's cool. Hope the tickets aren't too expensive.

It's on my list. Although my life is well over half complete, but I guess there's always the "happy" part lol

And they continue getting better from there (except for the final few installments of the series, which were negatively impacted by the fact that Sir Terry was at that point suffering from advanced alzheimer's disease)

Humble Pi by Matt Parker is proving to be pretty good
