On my first read of mort and this line made me stop and laugh my - - - off

Ysabell: "He never feels anything. I don't mean that nastily, you understand. It's just that he's got nothing to feel with, no whatd'youcallits, no glands. He probably THOUGHT sorry for me." Death as a character is the main reason I got into the Discworld books just from what bits I'd heard from people who'd already read them, and it's quotes like that that made him my favorite character.

Mort was my first Discworld book. I tried Colo(u)r of Magic, but bounced off a bit. But with Mort I fell right in. Terry Pratchett was a treasure, and I could read about his personification of Death all day.

Mort is the perfect entry point for a new Discworld reader. Or possibly Equal Rites.

Death hiring death as an assistant (because yes, "Mort" is French for death) just has me chuckling to be honest - I really like Terry Pratchett's humour.

Also his full first name is Mortimer...more-timer...he wants to give people more time.

I once got locked out of my car and ended up in conversation with the stranger I had to pay to unlock it and she ended up recommending Mort to me as my introduction to Discworld and I just wish I could hug that person now.

Death having existential crises over concepts that are found naturally within the bounds of life. But if Death could think 🤔 Doesn't that make him in a sense still “alive” aka conscious. Imagine having to deal with thoughts for eternity 🤔 Death has it rough, man.

Yep,mort, guards guards , or any other series within a series starter is better to start.

I love when you do the indie reviews. I don't need twenty ppl saying cosmere good, that's known. Give me the unknown!

Just finished Small Gods, and it left a deep impact on me. I really liked how he handled Brutha!

I love your comment on starting Discworld young! I started reading them when I was about ten and they became a hugely positive influence on my growing up.

Daniel! Patiently waiting for your review of Hobb's The Mad Ship.

YES! I LOVE MORT!!! “Scientists have calculated that the chance of anything so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.”

I’m reading a Discworld novel every weekend, and reading Amazing Maurice this weekend, but so far, The Truth is probably my second favorite (with the best so far obviously being Small Gods)

Mort is one of my favorite reads of this year, loved it!

Great breakdowns!

Can we just take a moment to commend this man for his editing skills?

The way prachett plays with death's voice was so cool.

I love those hardcover editions of Discworld. They are just so cool looking, and like Pokemon, I must collect them all. "One of the best showcasings of Death there are out there." Portrayal of Death in Discworld and Death in The Sandman, mmm *chef's kiss!*

I know these videos probably don't get as many views as oders, but I love watching you reviews of books.

I started reading Discworld when I was about 12, it definitely has a lot to give younger readers.

I started Mort while staying with a friend last summer, I didn't get to finish it and I still need to get my own copies of most Pratchett books... It was my second Pratchett book, the first one being Monstrous Regiment, which as a trans man was a very very meaningful book to me, and will probably continue to have a special place in my heart, wherein which the book that could replace it probably hasn't been written yet.

1:12 me too bud. i also love warrior princesses in fiction

Trope Tier List Suggestion: Warrior Bloodlines (ex: Grimm) The Rise of a Leader (good or evil) Sentient Artifacts Mind controlled characters (ex: Bucky Barns or Murtagh Morzansson) Sisterhoods/Brotherhoods Monstrous Monsters

Death comes to all, then death came to mort and gave him an offer he couldn't refuse, no really being dead isn't compulsory. One of my favorite discworld book.

I love the fact that you are review self published books

@Daniel Greene, Quick question, when is the dragon reborn read along?

Hey Daniel, could you do a video for your top 5 ongoing fantasy series, or something similar? It'd help those of us looking for a big series to follow for the next few years.

I absolutely agree that Discworld is great for all ages. I started reading it at 12 years old and that has 100% made me who I am today

I thought Sir Terry really started showing his genius on Equal Rites, and I'm kinda disappointed not many people talk about that book. The first 2 are between meh and ok, but the third is really good. He does drop some of the worldbuilding done on it very quickly in the series, but if you keep that in mind, it's still a great read.

I wish Mort was in more of the other books.

I never see anyone mentioning it, but I think Equal Rites is also a great entry point for Discworld

New to the channel so maybe you've done this and I just haven't found it yet, but do you have a recommended reading order for someone looking to get into Discworld? I watch Hogfather as a Christmas tradition, but much to my shame I've yet to read one of the books.

Mort is kind of a special discworld book for me, not necessarily for the contents of the book, but because Mort was my dads nickname for my younger brother (short for morticus shorticus), so it always makes me smile.

Wow I wonder if Daniel liked that Discworld book!!!

Welp I know which Discworld book I'm going to read next haha. My entry point to Discworld was the Wyrd Sisters, which isn't one I hear people recommending others to start with, but it worked fine for me.

This just made me want a Baru Cormorant/The Masquerade Series review here even more now because it's political (fantasy? I don't think it's fantasy really but eh close enough I guess?) done right. Those books are seriously underrated in my opinion.

thumbs up and comment for a plus 1 toward the algorithm, love the self-pubbed review highlight, wonderful idea

I think I read Mort for the first time when I was about 11 or 12 and I absolutely loved it. I've read it (or possibly listened to it since) and yup I still love it

4:33 These character names are truly superb.

Hey, Daniel are you ever going to finish the Sandman series?

IT'S A PRATCHETT VIDEO LET'S GO

Nice reviews. Where can I get that t-shirt you’re wearing?

Do you do/read Web novels? If so could you make like an explanation on how to find good ones because I've read "supreme magus" and haven't found any other ones like it.

I really want to start getting Discworld novels for my library, as the only one I actually own is Raising Steam. But the issue I have is that I freaking can't find good covers for them. Like the copy of Mort that Dan has looks great, but so many of the ones for sale online have that super cheap and awful mass market cover art that just does not do either the book or a stylish shelf any justice.

Love the cover

Since someone in the comments of one of Daniel's vids remarked that many fantasy titles are "....of...." and now I have to think about it every time I encounter a new representative. It's really common

Seeing you review self-published books gives me hope that one day a KZreadr will find mine and give me a little exposure. It's just a shame I wouldn't be able to send physical copies out like this author did though.

You should check out the series called The Arcane Casebook if you haven’t already. I just started reading it and it’s already getting really good

I need to start discworld!

I recommend listening to the BBC's radio adaptation of Mort if you get a chance

Daniel where'd you get that shirt? 🔥

Given this is the first of the Death series of stories I think it's understandable that Death's character is still only half-formed by Pratchett here, much like with other characters in other series who grow as they become more firmly established & their journeys are clearer in his mind (eg Vimes in Guards, Guards! is quite different from how he is in later books).

Lol, I totally love your channel and your reviews Would love to have you review my novel when I am done

Are there any really good classical fantasy books released recently? They don't have to be dark and gritty, just something entertaining to read.

Can we get a goblin certified discworld reading order?

Hi @Daniel Greene, I'm an avid fantasy / sci-fi reader, I just subscribed to your channel last week, and I really appreciate your point of view. I'm not sure where the best place to recommend books to you, so here goes: Have you ever read any Glen Cook? His Garrett Files are the antecedent of the Dresden Files, and the Black Company books are some of my favorite of all time, I think they influenced Steven Erikson (in at least some way) for Malazan. If I were to ask you to review just one, I'd say the first Black Company book, if you're at all interested. If this is the wrong venue for this, let me know, I know you don't want emails!

Daniel would you recommend Mort to someone who likes The Good Place? I know a bunch of people who love the show and Mort seems similar so perhaps they’d pick it up for that.

Definitely, but I third the recommendation of small gods in particular.

Coincidentally I just started mort last night. I’m already three hours into the audiobook 😅

In my opinion Terry Pratchett was just getting to realise his full potential. The first really perfect one was Small Gods for me. The second one is probably Men at Arms (going chronologically). Mort is great, don't get me wrong. I just think TP's highs are other books than people usually talk about.

I was 12 or 13 when I first read mort and existential crisis was exactly what my twisted teenage mind needed back then

There is a self published SciFi book called Dandelion by Justin C. Louise & Philip R. Johnson. I quite enjoyed it, and I think you would too.

Mort was my first discworld book and I finished it a week ago. The story really hooked me from the start. I really felt for young Mort, who just doesn't fit in. I didn't love the ending though. Nevertheless, great book.

Mort, Heck yeah!

Why does Daniel take his shirt off to edit in other points that he wants to touch on

3:37 is cut wrong. And yes, Mort is awesome.

Not sure if that's obvious to people as I haven't read the book yet but "Mort" in French means "Dead" - I'm assuming Terry Pratchett did this on purpose, which is a nice touch! Btw do you always do your editing naked?? 😂

Death wanna work somewhere nice with flowers and cats. He’s the roll among the cinnamon rolls. Though Mort is the MC and I’m still not sure what to make of him. Probably because he’s the teenage boy with too much power in his hands trope and I don’t usually digest that trope really well.

7:17 Is Discworld incestuous? Not sure if that was intentional or not :P

Thankss much. Fantasy new is my favorite. The interview with authors. Still, intro introducing self published authors is right up there. If you're intersested in self published authors, the Ed Lorn channel is place for you. Ed is an author, that has real experience self publishing, publishing houses, and everything in between. You can look through old videos, and get real advise from a publish author. He seems like a Good-Old-Boy, but he reads wider then anyone I know on KZread. How many people do you know, who has a copy of Norwegian Wood on their shelf. I only watch three book channels. One is our kind host, Dan the man. Another is Becky M, because her taste in Science Fiction, fantasy, are in line with my own taste. Then there Is Ed Lorn. Ed a damn good source for the creepy stuff.
