The hut employs you as a crust stuffer actually. At least the tips are good!

Its definitely worth the time investment. World building is amazing, very wide variety of character perspectives and motivations. I’ll admit, I’ve never actually finished the series either. I made it to book 8 twice before falling off because you’re right, ten massive books is a lot. I do have book 8 on order now, going to start from there this time.

Also if you or anyone reading this comment likes black metal check out Caladan Brood. The project is named after a Malazan character and all the songs on their single album are rooted in various plots from the series.

Tossing Malazan Book of the Fallen into the “chewy” pile!

Also seconding Redwall, Brandon Sanderson and Terry Pratchett. Robert Jordan likes to tug braids for chapters at a time but there’s still good nuggets throughout.

Several times a month this will happen after lacing one shoe but before lacing the other. I’ll stand up, look down at my feet and just shake my head.

So like StumbleUpon but vendor-locked to already popular services. Any possibility it could get a Fediverse edition? That sounds actually useful instead of supporting continued useage of platforms with boardroom controlled content-selection algorithms.
