19. [Pyramids] Terry Pratchett
Pteppic is up for his run as a full blown Ankh Morpork assassins guild member. Then his dad dies and he has to head home to be king.
Pyramids is one of my favorite Discworld novels. It still makes me snort out loud with amusement every time. I consider Dil and Gern the embalmers and Ptaclusp (and his sons IIa and IIb) the pyramid builders grand old friends. I loved seeing them all again and I look forward to the next time. ( )

This is the first book in Discworld’s “ancient civilizations” subseries, and I already miss Granny Weatherwax and Greebo and the Luggage. Like nearly all the DW books so far, it is endlessly quotable, pokes fun at both dearly held beliefs and silly tropes, and frequently provoked a giggle from me when I least expected it. But the pacing was off – it really dragged in places – and the characters were not nearly as engaging as in the other subseries. Overall, it’s a worthwhile read, but not one of Pratchett’s best.

I read this book for the Booklikes Halloween Bingo 2019, for the square Poe/Raven: Free Space

The usual daft Pratchett ride. Great fun!
Also, the usual sublime bits of poetry slipped in past you when he thinks you aren’t looking but hopes you are. ( )

Oh, yes, I had so much fun. I liked the way Ancient Egypt (and Ancient Greece) were twisted and turned, exaggerated, laughed at. Let’s not forget the puns, either. “Heir today, gone tomorrow” had me guffawing in a slightly undignified way :)

When you peel off the lovely layer of hilarity, Terry Pratchett (as usual) has a lot to say about the nature of religion and belief, politics, power structures, traditions etc.

P.S. I have now read eight Discworld novels, and it is nice to know that there are still many books left to read :)

Terry Pratchett is/was astonishing. I’ve loved all his Discworld novels since I first heard about them- at least the ones I’ve read.
Foolishly I’ve missed a few. This must change. I’ve just read the inimitable “Pyramids”, a romp through the Assassin’s guild, to a suspiciously Egypt-like country, to math contemplating camels to warping of time and space. Every page made me laugh or be astonished. Every page made me miss my father, who for some unexplained reason in the 1970’s got interested in Pyramid Power and constructed pyramids to see if they would keep cheese fresh. He would have laughed heartily through this book, delighted in Pratchett’s clever footnotes and turns of phrase, quoted bits of it at the dinner table, if only he’d had the chance.
This one of the Discworld novels is so much fun. One to start with if you are uncertain if you’d like them (silly person), as it stands alone (though links).
Enjoy. ( )

All assassins had a full-length mirror in their rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to anyone to kill them when you were badly dressed.
The ancestors pressed forward, muttering. When you've been dead for hundreds of years, you're not inclined to feel generous to those people who assured you that you were going to have a lovely time.
