absoloutely. in a strange way, because i knew how complicated it was, its actually made it easier to follow. i've set my mind to understanding that all will become clear as the books unfold. 
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.
I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Here's something: Pat's giving away Ian Cameron Esselmont's Night of Knives at his blog.
Link.
And if you don't win that one, and don't have the cash to pay for the limited editions, Cam's recently signed a book deal for Night of Knives and his first full Malazan Novel, Return of the Crimson Guard, with Bantam UK.
Look forward to NoK in readily-available and slightly-more-affordable hardback in Spring 2007.

i agree...i think that's what sets Gardens of the Moon apart from the rest of the series...why some people have had a bit of trouble getting into it. i think from Deadhouse Gates on the series becomes MUCH more literary.Murrin wrote:The world and characters were originally created by Steve and Cam as part of a roleplaying game, using at first a modified version of AD&D, and later GURPS. The story does seem to retain elements of its roleplaying origins.

I've read and enjoyed the first three - and have picked up the others (except for Bonehunters and the Esselmont book) and they are sitting in my TBR stack. 
Now I was wondering - I heard an internet rumor that Erikson has had a lot of training in anthropology. Does anyone know if that it true?
It would make sense if it is true - he is really into tribes and kinship and such.

Love as thou wilt.

ok! just finished the first book and while i absoloutely love the scope of the world and characters that Erikson has created part of me wonders if its almost too much. every time i think i'm beginning to understand something he throws, not just another character at you, BUT AN ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE!!!
but this is a small moan really 'cos its pretty much great. i'm gonna grab the next book this week-end.
Spoiler
the bit i got really lost on was during one of Kruppe's dreams, when the T'lan Imass shaman, the Elder God Krull and the Rhivi are all there. i kept confusing Krull with the T'lan Imass because they have similar names. i had to read the section three times before i realised what i was misunderstanding.
