#7 - Discworld
I love a bit of Egyptian mythology and a dash of timey-wimeyness; Pratchett delivers beautifully on this. This was a recipe made for my interests and I had a wonderful time diving into the twists and turns of this novel. It's a delightful romp through the "Old Kingdom" and it opens a new facet of the Discworld. Plus, one of my old favorites, Death, makes an appearance. I can't actually think of a novel where Death hasn't shown up yet and I'm fine with that. Pratchett takes the familiar and makes it his own, truly. His way of writing tickles the fancy in ways that can also be found in the likes of Adams and Fforde.
