UPDATE AFTER 07/23 REREAD: I see my review here, so I know I've read it. And this book has the passage about goat names, which I definitely remember but my mind had transplanted to one of the early Tiffany Aching books. I just don't remember much of the rest of it.
Equal Rites is where Terry Pratchett started trying to move beyond being "just" funny (being funny is a lot harder than a lot of writers think) and into Saying Something Serious™️. But he wasn't, IMO, very good at it yet.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Silly and fun. Not as good as others I've read, but entertaining, and I can always use some Granny Weatherwax in my life.
