I love the reductio ad absurdum of the concept that religions/philosophies from far away are better by default.
Word. Pratchett always has startling insights about the nature of religion and belief.
Also, the Auditors discovering the meaning of humanity? Inspired.
That was just amazing. Lady LeJean was the best thing about it, but I also loved the other Auditors as they squabbled over the names of colours even as they held life in contempt, and died of chocolate.
And I <3 Susan. Susan rocks.
I liked Susan in Soul Music (which I'm not particularly fond of, I'm afraid), but in this book she really did rock like a rocking thing. *g*
Lords and Ladies is one of my favourites and the reason why I deeply distrust Tolkien's elves. It's all just show, doncha know?
