Book of the day

Reaper Man is the eleventh Discworld novel, published in 1991, and the second novel to focus on Death. The title is a reference to Alex Cox's cult movie Repo Man (which, ironically, is in turn is a reference to the old expression "reaper man"). The The Auditors feel that Death is developing more of a personality the Auditors feel is right. They send him off with his own golden hourglass and his scythe to live like everyone else. Now called "Bill Door", he tries to work as a helper on a farm.
