HOGFATHER

hogfather by terry pratchett is the best book ever written. seriously. read it. it's hilarious. terry pratchett loves to make fun of things and in hogfather he makes fun of anthropomorphic beings like santa clause and the grim reaper. as well as a few others. and yes it does have a definite story line. the first discworld books tend to be random nonsense that are too funny to describe but they soon develop full story content. and they are all hysterically funny. terry pratchett understands people and how they think. and he is good at getting them on the page. anyway in hogfather the hogfather (santa clause) is missing. and death fills in for him. someone has to do it. intrigued yet? imagine a scythe carrying skeleton as santa clause. there's a movie too. read the book. watch the movie. you won't regret it. find out the origin of the tooth fairy. wyrd sisters and soul music are discworld movies too but you have to get those at a library as they are not sold now except for a mint on amazon.
