re: A Storm of Swords
It does depend on which version you get; iirc it was split into two for the mass market paperback edition; probably, I suspect, because the length of the thing would have made it a bugger to bind. I personally have the first print UK trade (the one with the Jim Burns cover) which is, as they say, all off a piece.
On topic - I bought Matter by Iain M. Banks last night (the new Culture novel). If you're interested; Waterstones are currently selling the hardback at half price. No idea how long that's going to last; but 9 quid for a new hardback is not to be sniffed at IMO

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

1)Reapers Gale
2)House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
I've already read house of Leaves, but I wanted to buy the book to support the writer.
I've been dying for Reaper's Gale, and I'm so happy that I finally have it. I was worried that my package was lost in the Canadian post, but it arrived yesterday. Now I can stop harrasing the Canadian and American Postal Services...

I always wondered whether those novellas
Blood Follows
Lees of Laughters End
the Healthy Dead
are part of Malazan world or just stand alone books by SE? If they are part of Malazan world, do you have to read it or they are sort of separate books and have no influence on the main 10 books?

Picked up Assassins Quest by Robin Hobb... 3rd one, they are pretty good so far... a little less action than I would prefer in a short non-epic jaunt, but better than lots of the crap out there.
Astra: They follow the 2 necromancers... Bauchalin and I forget the other.
They are in the malazan world, I havn't read them so can't say much more about them than that.

They are in the Malazan world but do not take place within the Malazan Empire. If you don't read them you will not become lost in the 10 books. They are fun reads that add bits of info pertaining to the overall series.

Robert V.S. Redick - The Red Wolf Conspiracy.
I will admit this was basically just because they used Edward Miller cover art and the same font as Scott Lynch's covers
Plus the recommendations I've heard on here, too

Same here. Just finished All the King's Men and will move onto What It Takes and Primary Colors after finishing Cook's stuff. Yeah, I'm boning up on the political stuff.

Well, yesterday, but the new Iain M. Banks Culture novel, Matter. Good so far.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I was going to buy a Neal Asher book, but Forbidden Planet wasn't there and I didn't really have much time. I'll give it a go even though it doesn't overwhelmingly seem my type of thing, I might be pleasantly surprised.

I'm hitting up the book store tomorrow. I'm hoping Joe Abercrombie's Before They are Hanged is out in stores. Sometimes it takes a little longer than when Amazon starts selling it.
