Going Postal

I found it somewhat perplexing that Pratchett's best Discworld book would be this one (for me).

The series on Death and the one on Miss Weatherwax were always my favorites. Rincewind is simply boring. But ‘Going Postal' really takes the cake. It's quite clever and touching.

Besides, it made me feel respect for Vetinari, almost wanting to know what our world would be like with a benevolent dictator.

This is, unlike many Discworld books, not just a light read, but rather an inventive book about greed and the pride of a job well done. The way the “clacks” were run mirrors that of many corporations of our own world, which was in itself gripping enough. It's hard not to like a book that pokes so much fun at managers and the rich.
