**Warning**
This thread is for discussing Making Money in some depth. If you haven’t read the book then read on at your own risk – or, better still, go and read the book and join in the fun.
For those of us that are going to join in the discussion, here are a few guidelines:
Please feel free to make comparisons to other Discworld books, making sure you identify the book and the passage you are referring to. Others may not be as familiar with the book you are referencing, so think before you post.
Sometimes we’ll need to agree to disagree – only Terry knows for sure what he was thinking when he wrote the books and individuals members may have widely different interpretations – so try to keep the discussion friendly.
We may be discussing a book that you don’t much care for – don’t be put off joining in the discussion. If you didn’t care for the book, then that in itself is a good topic for discussion.
Please note: there is no time limit to this discussion. Please feel free to add to it at any time - especially if you've just read the book.
And finally:
Please endeavour to keep the discussion on topic. If necessary I will step in and steer it back to the original topic – so no digressions please!

Making Money by Terry Pratchett
Originally published 2007
Introduction
Moist von Lipwig was such a success at changing the fortunes of the Post Office that Lord Vetinari wants him to do the same for the Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork. Moist resists but ends up being a dogsbody – literally!
What is the secret that the chief clerk is so carefully hiding and can Moist defeat the sinister Cosmo?
-----------------------------------------
Please convince me that I’m wrong about this book. Normally when I find one of the books a bit disappointing on the first read, a subsequent read will change my mind about it. It didn’t happen with this one. I found myself really not caring much about the bank, Moist, Miss Dearheart or anyone else. As a sort of sequel to Going Postal I don’t think it comes close.
Still, considering some of the recent financial problems in the world, this book is quite prophetic.
But convince me that I’m wrong about this book. Tell me what you thought of it.

Want to write the introduction for the next discussion (Small Gods)? PM me and let me know if you’d like to – first come first served.
