HumanistsMN Fantasy Book Club: MORT by Terry Pratchett
Details
Note* We are back at Riverview St. Paul Library!
Any and all are welcome at our monthly HumanistsMN Fantasy Book Club! Join us the last Wednesday of every month. Come discuss the book of the month with us -- or listen in and contribute to our frequent meanderings about pop-culture and other passions.
Our book for September is "MORT" by Sir 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…
Our book club facilitator is Cory Brodeur, HumanistsMN member, who enjoys getting lost in fantasy books, nerdy pop culture discussions, and cats. Cory's goal is to bring people together to bond over fantasy worlds while discussing how we can make positive changes in the real world!
