Going Postal                                                                                                                 by Terry Pratchett

Moist Von Lipwig got hung... But he lived. He wakes up in a room with lord Veterinari, ruler of the Ankh-Morpork section of Discworld. Moist is presented with the choice of either walking through a door, (actually a giant hole in the ground... basically imminent death), or becoming the Postman. He obviously accepts the job of postman. When he arrives at the post office, he realizes that every crevice is stuffed full of letters. Even the hallways and offices are filled with letters. It is his job to build the post office back up to it's former glory. He learns that the post office is "cursed". Will he return the letters and survive the "curse"?
So far I have heavily enjoyed this book. It has kept me laughing and I am constantly intrigued by the storyline. At points it can get a bit long winded, but it is mostly entertaining. It has a very unique storyline and the style in which the book is written fits very well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a longer, funny book that is very unique. I would also recommend this to you if you would like to read something that is very far out of the box.
Warning: there is some language, although it is minor and it makes sense in the context. Overall, it didn't bother me very much.
