Finished Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. I thought the story was more solid and the plotting and characterization more consistent than some of his others. Perhaps I also felt the "in jokes" were easier to get and so less distracting (though for some reason the "Soul Cake Duck" references completely escaped me until about 1/3 through the book). I like DEATH and Susan well enough that I've skipped ahead to Thief of Time for my next Pratchett book. I thought Hex was also quite charming.

I might read Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom soon. I did like Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, though it was more than a little surreal.... People who like D&O might also try Snowcrash by Neil Stephenson.
