![]() ![]() Moist accepts the challenge with the intention of leaving at the earliest opportunity, but somehow he gets drawn in… The ‘revolution’ here is Moist’s brilliant invention: stamps. Vetinari saves him from the gallows (literally) and offers him a choice: he can take over the failing post office, or walk out the door (into a dark pit). In Going Postal, Moist von Lipwig is a con artist, and one of the best, but he’s still no match for Lord Havelock Vetinari, the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork. ![]() ![]() I am almost through all the Watch books now (my favourites), and decided to listen to the audiobooks for some of Pratchett’s later ‘industrial revolution’ novels featuring the brilliantly named Moist von Lipwig: Going Postal and Making Money–the latter of which makes this a perfect match for the Money bingo square! (To clarify: I’m reviewing two books, but counting only one of them towards Bingo.) They are perfect palate cleansers for heavier books or for when I just need a good laugh. Continuing on my quest to read through Terry Pratchett’s marvelous Discworld series (why did I not start before two years ago?!). ![]()
