Summary: The Hogfather has disappeared, and so its up to Susan to find him. Okay, Susan and Bilius, the oh god of hangovers. And meanwhile Death has taken over the role of Hogfather in the absense of the real Hogfather, and Albert has to keep Death from making too much of a mess of things. And meanwhile new gods are popping into existance anytime someone speculates about one that might exist.
Thoughts: Can I blame this book for my random desire to listen to X-mas music? Or does that just get attributed to its being December? Because I'm not sure I care about its being December, and I think I've given up on the X-mas music because you can't find anything worthwhile on the radio. I think it was only ever Classic Country that played X-mas music that was worth listening to.
Um, yeah. As you might've gathered, there's some bloody obvious parallels with the non-religious side of X-mas. And the book has much of the amusing stuff I've come to expect of Terry Pratchett (I seem to remember speculation that most of Earth's population actually consists of aliens who are hiding out and abducting people, mutilating crops, and making cow circles. Or something like that).
