Mort by Terry Pratchett

A Discworld saga wherein Death--you know him, rather thin fellow, handy in the scythe department--takes an apprentice, an ordinary boy appropriately named Mort.  Watch as he mucks out Binky's (that would be Death's dread steed) stable, gets to know Death's daughter, and tears the very fabric of reality.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
