Small Gods

Author: Terry Pratchett

In this wickedly funny tale, Pratchett takes on religion with his trademark wit and irreverence. When the Great God Om finds himself trapped in the body of a tortoise, he must rely on his only believer, the novice Brutha, to save him. As they embark on a hilarious journey across the Discworld, they encounter zealots, philosophers, and a very angry eagle. Pratchett’s razor-sharp satire and clever wordplay shine as he explores faith, power, and the nature of belief. A must-read for fans of fantasy and humor alike.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
