Hello, fellow book wranglers and connoisseurs of the absurd! We’re almost halfway through Going Postal by Terry Pratchett, and if you’re not already eyeing your mailbox with newfound suspicion, you’re probably reading the wrong book. Our last meeting was a riot—equal parts literary analysis and Monty Python sketch, with a dash of heartfelt nostalgia for snail mail and a generous helping of Pratchett’s signature wit.

Here'a a quick recap of what we discussed last time:

• Moist von Lipwig, our favourite (and only) conman-turned-Postmaster General, was the star of the show. We debated whether he’s a hero, a scoundrel, or just a man with a very shiny hat.
• The audiobook vs. physical book debate raged on. Some swore by the footnotes and voices, others by the feel of paper and the satisfaction of slamming the book shut after a particularly ridiculous plot twist.
• We compared Pratchett’s humor to Douglas Adams and Monty Python, and someone (you know who you are) tried to convince us that Snow Crash is just as funny. The jury’s still out.
• Personal tales of lost letters, pen pals, and postal mishaps abounded—turns out, we all have a little Moist in us (minus the criminal record, hopefully).
• The group’s camaraderie was on full display, with icebreakers about fictional pen pals and plenty of friendly ribbing about past book choices. We even flirted with the idea of genre polls and alternating fiction with nonfiction for future reads.

The stakes are rising as Moist's schemes get riskier and the city's power players take notice. Will our unlikely postman deliver on his promises or meet the gallows? Keep reading as we head into the final act, where one letter might just change everything.
