Mort (Discworld, #4; Death, #1)
Terry Pratchett
Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job. Death is the Grim Reaper of the Discworld, a black-robed skeleton with a scythe who ushers souls into the next world. He is also fond of cats and endlessly baffled by humanity. Soon Death is yearning to experience what humanity really has to offer, but to do that, he'll need to hire some help. It's an offer Mort can't refuse. As Death's apprentice he'll have free board, use of the company horse—and being dead isn't compulsory. It's a dream job—until Mort falls in love with Death's daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life…

16.11.24 - listened to the audiobook and it was hilarious. i love death! but i was slowly getting sick of discworld at the time of reading this, so it didn't hit as good as it should have been. i went into a reading block for a whole year in the middle of sourcery because of this. don't recommend binging back to back. palette cleansers are a must. DEFINITE REREAD FOR SURE.
