Hey all, Tusck reporting in from East Coast, USA. My sister actually put me on to this series about a year and a half ago. It took me a bit to get into, but after it started clicking, I can't put it down. Currently I'm about 25% thru House of Chains and really enjoying it.
The reason I'm here is because as I read through the books, I have more and more questions and less and less answers.

Hello Malazans, a new recruit from Romania here. I started reading Gardens of the Moon in September and I finished Midnight Tides a few days ago. It is going slow from lack of free time but man do I love this universe. The character I can best relate to is Trull Sengar. It's like SE is describing me in there. Well, except physically, that is ... 
.
Oh, and I loved the Serbian song for Eurovision too.

Welcome Tusck!
There are many different threads here that look at explaining all different aspects of the series. And if you can't find what you're looking for always feel free to start your own thread.
Welcome Derelict!
Glad you are enjoying the series! Also, I'm listening to Mandinga - Zaleilah at the moment! (well I was but by the time I got to writing this part my playlist had moved onto Ott Lepland - Kuula). XD

Thank you, Loki! I was listening to all Eurovision finalists playlist today also ! Good songs this year. Please tell me, how do you become Knight Commander of Team QB?

.It's a combination of dedication, hardwork, faithfulness and devotion to Quick Ben (with a little bit of shameless flattery thrown in for good measure

One does not simply become Knight Commander of Team Quick Ben.

Guess I'm supposed to jump onto the introduction train. Just finished book ten; I'm about to start on the ancillary (adjunct?) books. This place seems like a good resource for all the shit I've forgotten over the last few months since GotM

Welcome new members!
Feel free to ask questions or stop by chat! (Tell us where you are if you haven't finished the series yet in chat, though, don't want to spoil you).

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Greetings! Long time lurker, first time poster here... Native of Scotland, part of the British Empire. I'm a huge fan of the series, and slightly obsessed with the Malazan world at the moment. Having previously read the MBotF (all 10) from cover to cover last year*, and then ICE's 4 Novels of the Malazan Empire earlier this year, I found myself with nothing new to read one bank Holiday weekend, with no new books arriving for 2 days at least. Somehow, I was drawn to pick up GotM again, thinking I'd maybe read that, and then jump into the new books when they arrived (Donaldson's Thomas Covenant books). The Donaldson books are still untouched on my shelf, and I'm currently reading Reaper's Gale as the 9th book of the combined Malazan works (I've read the previous 6 MBotF books, NoK and RotCG so far) in the re-read. I decided to register, because I figured I might contribute to some threads, that sort of thing.
* I harboured an abiding aversion to all Fantasy literature until December 2010, caused by an unfortunate incident with a Hobbit when I was 12 years old. This was cured by a month snowed in my house, with naught but the first 4 volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire for company... then the first 12 or so books of the Wheel of Time... then Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy and following books... before falling headfirst into Gardens of the Moon, and all that follows, last May. Then some Glenn Cook when that ran out... followed by some R Scott Bakker, more Glenn Cook, the ICE Malazan books, 2 more WoT books, some Scott Lynch. Safe to say the aversion to Fantasy is over.

I am so grateful to my cousin for introducing me to this amazing series last year on my birthday ( July 7th). Nearing my anniversary of that life changing experience I just finished OST last night, and am hungrily searching for information on when the next books will surface from their warrens.

Hi everyone! My name is Deanna and I'm from NJ. I finished GotM about a week ago and I'm now more than halfway through Deadhouse Gates. So far I'm loving these books and can't wait to read the rest of the series. I came across this website and had to join! I've never really been on a website like this before, so I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the series and getting to know everyone on here!
