Some of my pets in WoW have Malazan names, though my RL cats were born before I got into the series.
What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

But you're not gonna tell us what the derived name is??
As for the other conversation, it's beyond me how anybody isn't entirely captivated by every single page. Malazan is an absolute good. It's the very definition. Is Malazan good? Well, is sugar sweet?

Me too, luci. In particular:
Love Fiddler! Not a glance! "Beyotch!"A new voice spoke behind them, a woman's, imperious and cold. "Commander."
Both soldiers turned, but without haste. The commander said to his companion, "The new company needs help down there. Send Dujek and a wing, and get some sappers to contain the fires - wouldn't do to have the whole city burn."
The soldier nodded, marched away, sparing the woman not a single glance.

I don't remember the exact moment that I got hooked - I did find it slow going at first, mainly because there was so much happening that it was difficult to put it all into context. So many characters, so many personalities, such a well-developed world - it was a bit overwhelming.
I think Tattersail was the first character that really stood out for me - or maybe Sorry, can't remember which was introduced first.

Couldn't tell you exactly when I got hooked, but it was about 100 pages into GotM. 
Finished DotD's Blackbirch Woods last night. It was pretty good.
Next up: Underground by Kat Richardson. It's urban fantasy. I may or may not have read it before -- I got it from the same friend who usually loans me these types of books, and I can't remember whether I've read it or not.

"A Fine and Private Place" by Peter S. Beagle. I'm loving it and going to make Sorus read it next.
