I don't even know how to express just how much I loved [b:Small Gods|567657|Small Gods (Discworld, #13)|Terry Pratchett|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175871715s/567657.jpg|1636629]. I really, really, really enjoyed reading this. Sure, that may have been because my boyfriend's great love of turtles has rubbed off on me. It may have been a devious glee at the thought of a petulant little god who never considered that he should do anything for his believers. The great library and the hilarious stereotype of the philosophers in Ephebe certainly didn't hurt. Nor did the penguin. Or the history monk. Vorbis was creepy as hell, which added a slight touch of reality. Seriously, go read this. Now. Go!

Absolute genius of a book. Pratchett’s writing is proof that humour and satire does not necessarily negate serious aspects like depth and emotion. When executed right, like an intelligent friend of mine rightfully said- only makes you reflect better.

Humorous, but not too critical, exploration of the human condition and religion. Made to be re-read.
- “Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.”
- "The figures looked more or less human. And they were engaged in religion. You could tell by the knives (it's not murder if you do it for a god).”
- “Thou shalt not submit thy god to market forces.”
