'Where the Falling Angel meets the Rising Ape.' I had to put the book down and sit and think about that one for a while.

Thats kinda my take on religion…

Religion is just adding "as long as it's increasing our power and wealth" to every sentence.

If it helps, the Death character was voiced by Christopher Lee. So imagine it in Saruman's voice.

Hogfather, Movie Adaptation of the Terry Pratchett book.

It's a great book. You should give it a try. If you want to start the Discworld series start with Guards Guards instead of Color of Magic.

My re-reads also start with Mort and the Death books. Then Moist. :)

Eh... partially. What I outlined above is only part of the plot, although it's the part that is most relevant to the post.

3) delieveries. At the same time, Death has his granddaughter start investigating why Santa went missing.

He does this by very explicitly telling her not to.

3 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

He certainly could not have been more clear, and she says she wants to be normal so he couldn't possibly have predicated her involvement.

Originally the Discworld novel Hogfather - his riff on Christmas - and this is from the TV adaption. Death is the best human very often.
