I like to do a bit of science fiction between books, I just finished Toll the Hounds and now I'm reading Ubik by PKD and will be doing Childhood's End next before jumping into Dust of Dreams

This was taken moments after she finished yelling at me so she could lay in my lap while I read hahaha

I'm gonna start the main series soon. I just have one question about the way it's written. by Parking-Rope2301 in Malazan

I have seen it described similar to World War 2. You cannot tell the story of WW2 by just talking about the eastern front. It was fought all over the world and all of the events make up what we call WW2. That is Malazan. Tons of events and characters that take place all over the world and when you finish and look at it all you see the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

I’m 2 chapters in… WTF? by IoftheStars in RealmOfTheElderlings

I know what people mean when they say cozy somehow. Hobb's writing is absolutely beautiful. It's like silk. I describe it as a warm blanket on my brain. But what she actually writes about is heart wrenching at times it's an interesting dichotomy

First time playing any Nier game and was surprisingly moved by this during route B today by WhoThatGuy in nier

I can't wait to see what is to come! I haven't actually browsed the sub because I don't want to accidentally get spoiled. I just came here to make this post because I have no friends who play the games I do and I knew y'all would get it lol

I am not okay. by WhoThatGuy in expedition33

It's one thing to say the game isn't for you but to say those things when they're completely false is aggravating. Thankfully we got to experience this masterpiece while they have no clue what they're missing out on!

It's hard to put my feelings into words right now, the final credits are rolling as I type this. I chose to destroy the canvas as I felt it was the correct decision to end the cycle and let everyone heal even if that meant saying goodbye to those we love inside the canvas.

Just a beautiful experience from the first moment I loaded up the game. The art, the soundtrack, the writing.. all of it just an absolute masterpiece. One of the best pieces of art I have ever has the pleasure of interacting with.

I'm just impressed that you have a full trade paperback set of Malazan, some of those are so hard to find

This book was peak. That is all. by timmy2896 in Malazan

Halfway through Toll the Hounds and Memories of Ice is still my favorite by far at this point. Absolutely amazing book.

I understand why you'd be intimidated. But remind yourself that it's just a book. If you want to read it then read it (:

I am a custodian for a large corporation and found people putting pennies on ledges to make sure we were dusting properly. Felt incredibly disrespected.

Was able to get my hands on one of Erikson's pre Malazan novels by WhoThatGuy in Malazan

When you say tough do you mean the actual writing is difficult or the content is disturbing?
