I was rather fond of House of Chains. I think that might be my favorite. Midnight Tides, which I am currently reading has some pretty cool charactors and interesting concepts and events in it. It's also the first book that has had me SNORTING with laughter to the point I have to put the book down. Tehol and Bugg are absolutely hysterical. Can't wait until you get to them.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

Can I just say something about Deadhouse Gates?
It's like reading The Two Towers (by Jrr Tolkein)..in the sence that, just as you are getting real comfortable with a story line, just when you're really getting into the scene...it switches to somewhere else.
I've been tempted to flip through to continue the the storyline that I am currently reading.
But that's a compliment.
It didn't work so well in Gardens...the scene's switched too fast, but in Gates, he pretty much nailed it.

I finished Midnight Tides and I think that might be my fave so far. I am holding out on reading anymore until Fist gets through Midnight Tides so we can read and discuss The Bone Hunters together.

Har har hardy har har!!! Pththth......
Heh.
Yeah, I paused after my reread of MoI. But I read the last 800 pages of my paperback version of HoC in a couple weeks, and have begun MT. I expect I'll read it within a few weeks. Hopefully two, but one never knows what might come up in rl.

Yeah, I also kind of quit my grand scheme to reread all of the books, in anticipation of Toll the Hounds (which, apparently, pat5150 has snagged an advance copy of -- didya see his note in the Other Sci-Fi/Fantasy forum? Rat bastard! ).
Ah well. I console myself with knowing that, with or without completing the reread, I cannot possibly be as clueless in reading "Toll the Hounds" as I was my first time through DG.

I did get through the first 3, for sure. Pretty sure I read HoC, too. Bogged down in either MT or BH -- I'd have to check the bookshelf at home.
What I might do is pick up RG for a reread before the next book comes out...

Well, IF Fist takes forever then I might revisit some of the earlier books.
