	I've got a copy of a book 'Reaper Man' by Terry Pratchett. Is this

	The best bit I can remember overall is from 'Wyrd Sisters'

The origional song is of the evangelist revival camp meeting ilk, and goes
pretty much in the vien of the virst verse you quoted (which is the chorus)

the second verse you quoted is filk (SF/Fantasy fandom term--like folk but
not quite) music.

Another verse runs someting like:
Let's sing praise to Aphrodite
She may seem a little flighty,
but she wears a green gauze nighty,
And she's good enough for me.

And another Verse:
(I only saw this one rendered once, but it was well worth it.  We were
sitting in a hotel room at a Convention (Mini-Con in MPLS MN, USA) in a
circle, campfire style, and each person would sing a verse then we would
all join in on the chorus.  One person piped up with this verse:)

Not quite true.There's this book from Phil Foglio (and ?) titled
"Illegal Aliens" which states quite true that in modern galactic
society any race that still calls its home planet "Dirt" or the
likes,and is unable to give galactic kartographers a genuine name
to kartograph,isn't worth to be kartographed at all,not to mention
invaded.
But after all this ain't the problem.
The really strange stuff is that every bug-eyed,slime-drooling monster
from planet #@$%^%$&%@#%51776 Dillington,Murmansk jumps out of his 
Spacecraft,grabs a shapely Blonde and zooms off to a erotic
extravaganza in outer space.
Ain't there any bug-eyed,slime drooling girls in space or are
all those aliens perverts?

In a few minutes -- in fact, just as soon as I've finished typing this
-- I will be posting the Annotated Pratchett File, v5.0 to this
newsgroup, in three parts.

Before you rush to print it out, please consider that there are now
also nicely formatted versions of the APF available (which will not be
posted however!). For details, ftp anonymously to ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl, 
or mail to me at leo@cp.tn.tudelft.nl, or scan the APF itself for the 
appropriate info (it's in part 3).

The formatted APF is in LaTeX or PostScript, and is in my opinion more
than worth its considerable size (60 pages A4, 72 pages US paper).
Amongst other things it has a table of contents, it has nifty
punctuation with smart quotes that point in the right direction, if
you know what I mean, and best of all: Death actually speaks in SMALL
CAPITALS -- I am rather proud of that last bit!

If you feel 60+ pages is too large, you can ftp or ask me to mail you
the LaTeX source, so that you can fiddle with it and make it print
2-up, or fullpage, or two-sided, or in 3pt type, or whatever. But make
the effort, I think I can safely say you won't be disappointed.

Ok, that's it. Thanks for your attention, and remember that all
feedback is, as usual, very much appreciated, this time perhaps even
more than ever.

Well yes and no.  I would have thought that the Soul Eater was, in the
main, restricted to his lair although he/she/it/Prof could probably have
an influence outwith it.  And, as all the other nasties might say, if
him why not us? (referring to the Soul Eater) and so that which is
ummm...  ummm...  the number of wheels in a two-car pileup could have
become a generally bad thing to say due to risk of nasties intervention
(but especially when visiting Bel-Shamharoth).  In addition, TCOM
doesn't, as I remember (and I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong
:) ) specify that the Soul Chomper gets killed of as such; perhaps just
seriously weakened (to the extent that the ravages of time can no longer
be repelled) and so the threat is lessened...

To be honest, I think the real reason is that it would have been tedious
to maintain the wizards-not-saying-(furrowed brow... oh never
mind)-eight for all the subsequent DiscWorld books.  But this way is
much more fun. :)

* NOTE: There be spoilers ahead. Now would be a very good time to go on to the
        next message if you have not already read Reaper Man. You have been

Sure?



OK...

When the new DEATH comes for Bill Door, what exactly, transpires? As I read it...

The scythe has not been 'killed', so Bill Door has no weapon. New DEATH is just about to kill him when Mrs Flitworth appears. Then what happens? From what I can gather, she has given Bill some of her time, the same way he gave Sal some of his?

So far so good. Bill Door then picks up a handy (non-dead scythe) and kills new DEATH? This is the bit I don't get. It seems to be the ultimate example of someone cheating the Grim Reaper, something we all know can't be done.

So what am I missing?

No, Kirby's Nanny Ogg is pretty good.  And he's getting better (...he's
getting better...) at someone who looks about right for Magrat.  But he
hasn't really got a clue about Granny.  The artist who does the American book
club editions -- can't recall his name -- does not, I think, do good
_covers_, but he makes a very good job of getting the characters right.
They're not _my_ idea of the characters, but they're certain based squarely
on the plot.  His Granny on the cover of Equal Rites was notable.

May I add that I'm pleased to see so many Weird Al and They Might Be Giants

Sorry --- totally unintentional forgetting (the above list was written by
memory --- if I've forgotten any others, sorry).
Reaper man I thought was good, but not highly memorable. It is better
when read the third time. Trust me.  (I've read Good Omens at least a dozen
times).  I especially like the temple scene and the "Oh No...It's Mrs Cake!"
after the bit about the "guy with a whip". The competition between Death
and the combine harvester was not as good as I thought it would have been.

Note: I may sound a little negative about this book and a few others,
but this is a relative negative...TP books are about the only ones
I can ever re-read, and they are the ONLY humorous books that can
stand being reread. (IMHO)

The title says it all:  It's about Real Cats.  With a little insight in-
to their prehistory, their future, and of course the various forms of
their present.

It contains various exotic examples, like the arch villains cat, (you
know, the white one which is always visible instead of his face,) with
serious doubts as to its reality, because you never find scratch marks
on the carpet hiding the piranha tank trap door, or cat food stains in
the cryogenic chamber.
Or the Schroedinger cat who once found out that it can be inside a box
and somewhere entirely else as long as nobody takes a look into it, and
found this trait very convenient to get into or out of locked houses via
hyperspace (explaining quite a lot in my opinion).
It also contains a lot of everyday examples and a few cartoons.

In fact it's about what you always wanted to know about cats but were to
busy changing the litter to ask.

Although I enjoy the books (I think I have all of the English versions
in hardback, some personally autographed by TP), I'd like to hear some
more of Terry's observations on real life.  Fiction is funny, but real
life is funnier, in my opinion.  For example, today's Guardian reports
that the editor of the Sun in the UK was defending freedom of the press,
at the invitation of some British MPs.  He was asked about the Sun's
reporting of an incident where an unfortunate chap mixed up a tube of
super-glue (cyanoacrylate) with his pile ointment (haemmarhoid cream).
The resulting Sun headline was a classic: "Our John's gone potty -- he's
glued up his botty."

The even funnier follow up in relation to press freedom, was that the
person concerned chose to reveal the story to the newspaper himself, and
thus there was no unwarranted intrusion of privacy.  The headline is
misleading anyway, as since John had glued up his botty, it was
extremely unlikely that he could go [to] the potty until corrective
measures! Anyway, I believe that Mr Pratchett could be extremely funny 
about such incidents from real life, rather than the characters from 
Discworld.  Although there is a touch of light cynicism in the humour, 
it's not as heavy-handed as Douglas Adams.  

The mind of a philosopher shows through.  I would like to hear more, 
for example, of the occasions when Terry has been invited to witches' 
conventions, and has been asked to judge the best-dressed witch.

I guess Terry's ambition for the great character actor with the deep
gravelley voice to play Death in the mooted (or is that morted?) film
version of MORT may no longer be possible, as he is now auditioning with
the real Death.  His name escapes my memory at present.

Obligatory DW reference:  Austrian television chose to celebrate the
last day of 1992 with a gorgeous, glamourous co-hostess, covered with
auburn locks.  Yes, a female orang-outang.  Sorry, but I'm not sure what
Ooook! means in Wiener dialekt.  I guess I could rename a piece of
software I've written from EEP to OOK as a kind of tribute.  :-o
