Poll: grim reaper how do you feel about him

[Zacharine]

He's Death. He does not kill, he simply is.

He also likes cats, has had an apprentice, rides a pale horse (skeleton horse didn't work all that well) named Binky and thinks humans are amazing creatures because "in a universe filled with wonders, they have managed to invent boredom"

Practhett did a really great job with the Grim Reaper. Including his social inability and the resulting bad blood between him and his granddaughter.

Could you direct me to this book. I love On A Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. It's about Death as a person so I might like this one too.

The Discworld is an entire series of books, Death making an appearance, no matter how small, in almost all of them.

But if Death specifically is what you're interested in, Reaper Man is mainly about him and Mort and Hogfarther feature him as an important side-character.

here's a linky.

Shes a goth chick, she likes Merry Poppins and she loves everyone. What's not to like?

Thank you very much. I shall look into it.

As for the Thread, Death is cool. He has compassion, Mortis(his Death-steed), his scythe, his gal Luna and his awesome Death clothes. Zane is overall a great guy. (<--On A Pale Horse by: Piers Anthony)

Three words. *****. Got. Game.
Also, is it not time he got a combine harvester? What with the wars and all...

Thank you very much. I shall look into it.

Hope so, I give Reaper Man 10/10 recommendation. Pratchett really has done a great job on this one.

And a slight spoiler of an epic quote from Death, as we are revealed a part of his mind (a quote which by the way, when given in the context, made me cry) :

"For what can the harvest hope for, if not the care of the Reaper Man?"

 

[Robert632]

it's obvious

the grim reaper's gender is vegitable.

ok the reapers gender is a tranny girl.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Its a cool myth I guess. Anyone see the supernatural episode with the reaper

 

[Kinguendo]

He likes cat's and has a horse named Binky, what's not to like?

What?! Since when did Greg the Grim Reaper start liking cats? He "f*cking hates cats!" XD

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Best. Job. Ever.

 

[Faps]

He runs a bar with a giant car obsessed orange demon, what's not to love about him?

 

[elbryan108]

WOW, there are a lot of Pratchett fans here on the escapist. There should be a user group dedicated to him...

 

[Jedoro]

He's in Family Guy, so of course he's real

OT: I believe it. If it's a guy, he is probably an awesome badass. If it's a girl, she's probably pretty hot.

 

[Jurassic Rob]

Well, he obviously doesn't exist, but that doesn't mean he doesn't look cool!
