Our October Book Club selection, Small Gods, A divinely funny take on organized religion, petty gods, and the corrupting thirst for power by globally acclaimed bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.

In Small Gods, Religion is a competitive business, and everyone is vying for the top.

"Religion is a competitive business in the Discworld. Everyone has their own opinion and their own gods of every shape and size-all fighting for faith, followers, and a place at the top. So when the great god Om accidentally manifests as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it's clear he's become less important than he realized. Om needs an acolyte and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One-or at least the only One available. He's a simple lad whose highest ambition is tending his melon patch-until he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god for sure. But bossy as Hell. Brutha wants peace, justice, and love-but that's hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, money is worshipped, and corruption reigns supreme. . . ."
