I lieks the readings.
14 years ago
If anyone ever gets a chance, I just finished Steven Erickson's 10 volume "Malazan Book of The Fallen" I was impressed. I have never in my life been happier with a multi-book series. The end, it wrapped everything up in a neat little package, the humor was dark and sarcastic. The messages were clear and profound.
Read the book, read it twice. You will miss things the first time around.
One thing I thought amazingly profound was the attention to detail. Very very small things that made huge differences, or gave you extra information, that were do easy to miss. Has everyone seen The Dark Knight? Did everyone realize that the reason Batman saved harvey wasn't because he meant to, but because the Joker lied about who was at which address? It's amazing how many people missed that. And it's details like that, filling these books, that make things so interesting.
Book One: Gardens of The Moon
Read it.
Nao.
Unless you don't like fantasy books. But maybe even then, because it is just an awesome read.

My group knew the joker lied about the address, that's part of his chaos... But it sounds cool that the book has things easily missed so people can latch onto it. Novelizations can sometimes misdirect the reader. I once read the novelization of "Star Trek: First Contact". There was a glaring discrepancy where a fact had been completely reversed in the novelization compared to the movie, changing the implication completely.
