I read the older English translation decades ago, and I only remember the basics of the plot. This feels like a well-written book, so I'm inclined to think that it's a better translation.

But this second reading also comes after I've spent time in academia, and even engaged in the study of human consciousness. I wonder how many people understand that this is a biting satire in addition to an exploration of loss and what it means to be human? I didn't before, but I do now.

This was my Christmas gift!

I needed to read something fun and lighthearted and Pratchett always delivers.

I'd like to write a review eventually, but for now I'm just done.

I'm 10% in, and so far this book offers the clearest expression of my politics and feelings about climate change that I've read (c.f., Hope Against Hope). I look forward to getting into the meat of the text and learning how to help create a "Lifehouse" in my own community.
