  Books starring Death are always good. It's amazing how often the presence of a character who is by no means human will focus the book on humanity: what it is, how it behaves, what it believes in... and why it actually has to believe in something.

  Someone wants to kill Hogfather, so the Death takes his place on the sledge (pulled by four pigs). It's funny, but also enchanting and clever like Pratchett is. Highly recommended, especially in the Xmas season.

  This was a good Christmas fantasy book. I enjoyed the scenes with Death trying to do the right thing. I also liked the scenes with the wizards and their trying not to think of new gods and fairies.

  Another favorite of mine. This work was recently adapted for television in the UK (sadly, unavailable on region 1 dvd), but it's easy to see why. One of the more accessible books for a Discworld neophyte, Pratchett takes on the holidays - and faith and religion, to boot - with his characteristic charm and wit. Uproariously funny, "The Hogfather" is a parody of holiday commercialism in our modern world.
