been really struggling focusing on a book and had too many going, so I've cleared the deck, gonna take a day or 2, then pick a book and focus.

 

Any of you who don’t know how to read but want to listen, this thing’s up on Audible and iTunes and Amazon.

 

always wanted to learn how to read but now I don't have to!!!!!!!!

 

you're not gonna believe this, but I was just listening to Fellowship of the Ring on audiobook the other night to relax before bed / try to get my BP down, and I thought to myself how great it would be to have your books on audiobook

 

missed chance to appeal to us Vorin men

 

I finished Dungeon Crawler Carl last night. All I have to say is glurp glurp!

 

Hell ya man. The books only get better.

 

Alright you all convinced me and I bought the first two dungeon crawler Carl books

 

GLURP GLURP

 

I picked a good time to buy a Kindle just in time for this

Epic Sale of Beloved SFF 2025

 

Well, I decided to start my reread of Malazan. I'm in the third chapter of GotM right now which is like 125 pages into the book.

I was reading The Grace of Kings (my reading book, Malazan is for audio) and it just gave me the urge to finally go back to Malazan. It's night and day to the first readthrough. I actually kind of understand what's going on.

I want to include the Ian C Esslemont books this time though. Has anyone read any of those? Are they any good?

 

Generally speaking, I prefer the ICE books.

 

Wow. High praise indeed.

 

one day I'll give Malazan a proper try. I will admit that a lot of the hardcore fans I've encountered in other domains make it tough haha, but I've started collecting the Broken Binding editions so I'll give them a fair shake.

 

Well, I think the Erikson books are pretty bad to terrible for the most part so I'm probably not the greatest reference, haha.

 

You DNF'd Shadow Rising, so like, you don't get to talk, haha.

 

That's a wild statement okay disregarded lol. I'll just have to give them a shot myself. Just remembered I got Dancer's Lament on an Audible 2for1 recently so I'll dive into that one after GotM.

 

Going into what will end up amounting to like a 700 dollar commitment over books you're not sure on is wild behavior.

 

and?

 

Honestly, I don't remember if it was book 3 or 4. I really do want to finish the series one day.

 

people acting like collecting isn't just as much of a hobby

 

also, I never said I wasn't going to read them. I've always planned on reading them, and this is the only way for me to get a fully matching hardcover set, so whatever. Mind your business
