Briar King Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 That’s pretty much what the convo I’m talking about in GotM was about but at that time when it was the only book you don’t really know the epic scope of what the series was gonna be about. It’s not till a reread that one can grasp what Tool was saying(imo). i didn’t like having this stuff turned upside down at the time. We will see eventually how I take the reread. ive got a headache so I’m not typing very coherently about what I’m trying to say about epic scope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm halfway thru Kharkanas after having just done a 1-10 straight re-read. I like it just fine so far. It's like reading Silmarillion with a story the whole way thru it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Can’t remember if I got this on 1st read. Moon’s Spawn was raised out the ocean and put in position to eclipse Black Coral that’s pretty cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officiumdefunctorum Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 So, my kitten is about four months old, now, and he is finally big enough to access things he once could not. This means he is CLIMBING ALL THE THINGS. So I am in the position, fully aware that I have done this to myself, of bleating in alarm as a pure white kitten tries to scale a table lamp or a tower of DVDs (multiple times a day) and shouting "Silchas Ruin!", while I scurry to prevent immanent disaster. This name has now and will likely forever have lost any majesty or gravitas it once held. Really helps you to get over the oddness of a name, though, shouting it multiple times a day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silchas Kitty always puts a smile on my face. Settled on the *Kel Tath* for my boat name. Just have to do the painting now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that practically everone on the water will not get it :). People have a tendency to exagerate size in their catches so maybe when you meet other people fishing you could ask them, "When a fisherman speaks of truth to another fisherman , what hope has truth? Let me ask this, then. Does one find memory in invention, or will you find invention in memory? Which bows in servitude before the other? Will the measure of greatness be weighed solely in the details? Perhaps so, if details comprise the full weft of the world; if themes are nothing more than the composite of lists perfectly ordered and unerringly rendered; and if I should kneel before invention, as if it was memory made perfect. Do I look like a man who would kneel?" Edited August 14, 2018 by Ammanas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 On pg 214. This reread is going very well when it’s going very well. Lots and lots of brooding/philosophy mumbo jumbo can cause me to stop though. Quite a lot of it in TTH. Dang I dread cracking open FoL for the 1st time later on in this massive Malazan re/read. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 I'm halfway thru FoL and as far as I'm concerned, it's the same as the rest except in the past. I haven't noted a change in tone or anything. Ah yes! The Fisher! I think I was thinking too hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officiumdefunctorum Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 @Briar King I don't think there's too much maundering in FoL. There's rather too much going on, for it, I think. You may just want to skim the parts with Dathenar and Praezek, as I believe Erikson just kind of uses them as a medium for those selected times he wishes to maunder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Lol, Dathenar and Prazek are my favorite speaking characters so far. I was actually just lamenting in the Moon's Spawn discord server that those two don't have speaking parts in GotM and DoD. Edit: here's an invite to the server https://discord.gg/A5zPMZH Discord is a free chat application for pc and mobile.

Edit: here's an invite to the server https://discord.gg/A5zPMZH Discord is a free chat application for pc and mobile. Did you happen to notice that in DoD, one of them had become a woman? I know he and ICE both play fast and loose with K'rul's gender/form, but they're an elder god and all, so I'm wondering if he'll hand-wave that he even wrote that into the events of DoD, or if there is some precedent for changing one's gender in the Tiste andii culture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) I did not notice that they had changed genders, no. The Jaghut, Varandas, did too. In the main series, she was captain of the 14. In Kharkanas, Varandas is a male. Edited August 15, 2018 by AngelEy3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briar King Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 It’s stupid that my BAM carries no ICE. Only bookstore in Lake Charles and the have nothing I’m ever looking for these past few years. Was in early today to look for WH40K books and guess what.. fail. They had book 39 of some authors set but not 1-38. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Reread is going extremely well even on Nimander stuff which is what really sapped my full enjoyment of bk 8(even worse then Mybe stuff in 3 for me) on 1st read. Only on pg 341 so not much progress from last post. Been busy yesterday and then played lots of No Mans Sky today oh ha wrong message board. I was on pg 318 2 days ago on Malazan board Edited August 19, 2018 by Briar King 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
