Hogfather by Terry PratchettRead about the other entries on the list.
I am not one to recommend series out of order, but the Discworld books can be read in any order. Or you can read all the books in the series to get to this one, possibly the funniest of the bunch. It’s about the Hogfather, who goes out on Hogswatchnight in his sleigh pulled by eight hogs, to spread presents around Discworld. But when Hogfather goes missing, someone needs to take his place while they search for him. Who is a natural replacement for Hogfather? Death, of course! Death must take on the criminal elements of the world with the help of his granddaughter, Susan, if they want to keep Hogswatchnight from going to the hogs. Er, dogs.
