A mention of Ringworld leads to a recollection of Pratchett's science fiction outside Discworld. The Dark Side of the Sun is identified as an early work and receives an enthusiastic personal recommendation. Its relationship to Discworld is clarified in the conversation, although the publication chronology is recalled imprecisely. Reaper Man is then recommended separately. A participant credits Pratchett with changing the treatment of Death in modern British literature, but no detailed analysis of that claim follows.
