    lol fuck off. I refuse to read that until there's an end in sight


    I forgot to add I finished Malazan book 1 and it totally hooked me in by the end. Anomander Rake is amazing. Everything came together by the end and I loved it. I am reading Spinning Silver atm but will continue Malazan afterwards.

    Yeah exactly, thats how I feel about GoT. And it's because of GRRM that I mostly only read completed series now.

    Anomander Rake remains a favorite fiction character. The whole Bridgeburners gang is great as well (e.g. Whiskeyjack, Fiddler). Karsa Orlong, Dancer, Dassem Ultor, etc. -- so many good characters throughout.

    Picked up Parable of the Sower because it'd been getting a lot of good praise recently. It's dystopian fiction- even if its being marketed as Sci-fi for some ungodly reason. Anyway, American economy is fucked, bad shit goes down hill pretty quick. This part I'm about to talk about isn't really much a part of the narrative, but it's mentioned; One of the presidential nominees is a dude who's got a very specific fan base (Very white, very christian) and plays it accordingly and it gives rise to groups such as the KKK coming back into action. And its like, well, you can definitely see who she's making allusions to. And then a couple sentences later its mentioned this president is running under the pretense of "Making America Great Again," literallt using that exact phrase, and now I'm like, Hm. Just throwing out all subtlety about who you're referring to, now. It turns out... Parable of the Sower was written in 1993.

    I let myself get sidetracked from Malazan.

    Started on the Expanse books and will probably finish that series first so I can be ready for book 9 in oct and start watching the show lol

    well his editor claimed she's never seen a word of book 3 and believes Rothfuss hasn't written a word since 2014 so it makes sense to skip it

    Bought Sanderson’s Legion hardcover at Bam! bookstore cause it was on clearance for $6. So if you really wanted a physical copy, but didn’t want to spend $30 on a shorter story, go to your local(lol) Bam or 2nd and Charles. Gives me something else to read while I wait for Peace Talks paperback.

    A Practical Guide to Evil is back from hiatus.
    Author confirms this will be the last book.

    Instead of a start of month bonus chapter this month, they've put up two chapters of what will be their next project after PGtE.

    guys I like the Malazan books but why are they such a chore to read. I read 3 Expanse books in between Malazan 1 and 2. And I'm like halfway through Malazan 2 but I just wanna go back to Expanse haha. Wish they were less dense.

    At least the last 200 pages of Malazan 1 were pretty epic so I'm hoping that happens again.

    Malazan can be incredibly dense, and some sequences are pretty painful (e.g. the "snake" sequence much later on drove me crazy).

    it's funny you say that as i got about 100 pages into Malazan 1 before immediately diving back into The Expanse to finish it up. only a couple hundred pages in 8 left then to seek out the short stories and i'll be finished till 9 releases this Autumn.

    + just knocked out the new Ichiguro, Klara and the Sun, which is very good and very sad and it made the room get awfully dusty at parts.

    +2 reread King Lear, which imooooooo remains William's finest achievement.
