Why would you do that??Sorus wrote:Yes, what SD said. I will admit that I did not read the books in the proper order, but jumping from two to five is not something I would recommend.

I accidentally bought the third in a series of books on Audible recently. I immediately got a refund and bought book one instead.
How was it that you came to have no choice but to read Malazan backwards from 8-5 Av?

Well, LuciMay & Fist sent me book 1 and book 2-4 respectively (to my eternal gratitude), and then I found book 8 here on a sale, so I bought it. But I couldn't find 5-7.
Then it turned out somebody I worked with had them, but he was reading 5, and had lent 6 to somebody else. So I read 7 first.
And then it just made sense to go backwards to 5.

...and just like that I better understand why Menolly was so OCD about getting the entire Potter collection into one box for you back in 2010...

I know I did that once with a series, but I found it so annoying that I was supposed to know things and people that I decided not to do it again. (And now I don't remember the series because it died with the wall-of-bangs, I guess.)

Btw I said This Day,,, when I am actually reading A Dark and Angry God.
I saw a list of the "Top Ten Most Disturbing Books of All Time". The only book on the list I had read was Blindness, by Jose Saramago, an excellent book. And definitely less disturbing than the Gap Series.

There is actually a film of Blindness which was a very faithful adaptation. But of course, read the book first.Sorus wrote:I had to Google that list, since banned and/or disturbing books tend to end up high on my reading list.
Am at the point in book 3 where I'm going, does UMCP know the drug really does work and they're letting the Amnion get a hold of it, and if so why?...

These facts are good to know. It just gets more and more intriguing, doesn't it? Right now the ships are converging on Valdor and I don't even know what the freek anymore...

Maybe I can tell my 3rd grade class we're going to have a reading marathon. I'll sit and read while they do... for a month...
