20: Hogfather

HAPPY (slightly belated) HOLIDAYS, DISCITES! 2023 has been off to a bit of a hectic start, but we're BACK with the Discworld series' most (unfortunately for us) time-sensitive installment, HOGFATHER. Someone has killed the spirit of Hogswatch, and it's up to Death to fill in-- and up to his granddaughter Susan to figure out what the hell is going on. What is the true benchmark of sentience, and is it really up to us to decide with our limited human perspectives? Can Sir T To The P get by on a primarily vibes-based Discworld book this deep into his career? How DO you calculate the volume of a cone, anyway? (Don't answer. That question's rhetorical. I went to art school so I wouldn't have to come into close proximity with mathematics ever again.) Take a bite of meat pie and a big ol' swig of sherry as we unwrap this festive fiasco!
