Malazan Book of the Fallen

Malazan Book of the Fallen is a series spanning primarily 10 books. 

Here in Deadhaus we have heard many things about this series, the triumphs and even pitfalls of the series. While its hard to imagine dedicating how ever much time it would take to get through all the books, we can start here with the first one, and see where that goes. As of writing this there are still some things to plan out, and with holidays literally around the corner jumping into something like this right away doesn't seem like the best idea. I, however, wanted to get this idea out there and see who might be interested in beginning a journey like this. I know a few have been through at least the first book, and yet are willing to go through it again for this experience. So with that I created this Club to do just that, begin a journey to see where it might go. 

Feel free to post concerns and/or expectations so that once the holidays are over we can make a clear path to reading some awesome books together!

to expand upon this and give everyone a bit more an idea: 

10 books within Main Malazan IE the most important. 

Gardens of the Moon

Deadhouse Gates

Memories of Ice

House of Chains

Midnight Tides

The Bonehunters

Reaper's Gale

Toll the Hounds

Dust of Dreams

The Crippled God

 

there are Spin Off/ connected books set between a few of the novels and even a Chronological Order in reading(usually for people on a re read.) 

 

Each Book is broken up in to parts so because we will be going through the first book at least here is that breakdown. 

Gardens of the Moon - Breakdown. 

Prologue. 

BOOK ONE  - Chapters 1-4 

BOOK TWO - Chapter 5-7 

BOOK THREE - Chapters 8-10 

BOOK FOUR - Chapters 11- 13 

BOOK FIVE - Chapters 14-16 

BOOK SIX - Chapters 17 - 19 

BOOK SEVEN  = Chapters 20-24 and Epilogue. 

Because i listen to my books, Gardens of the Moon clocks in at around +checks notes_ TWENTY SIX HOURS!!! lol 

Each chapter of the audiobook version ranges from 1hr to 1hr30min. so BOOK ONE where we would start is about 6/7hrs listening in total or however long it would take you to read read physically. The plan is we would all be reading a "book" a month so Seven Books being Seven Months. Take Notes, even re read some bits if needed and all go through a break down of what we liked and didnt like and predictions. Kind of like what me and mike do for Whispers i guess? 

now that i broke it down hopefully its more digestible to grasp. Thats all for now.

I'd be open to this! 

I'm already a reader and I don't have a lot of fantasy I'm reading right now so it wouldn't be difficult to set aside some time to read them. Based on what Calypso said, it would take a very long time to read the books if we read even at audiobook pace. I think if we plan to do it through the release of the game, we could do this for years 🤯

This is kind of my take, if we can be consistent it would take a long time to get through just the 10 main books of Malazan, but it would be something to look forward to doing. An original idea would have had us getting through it in a year, but Calypso pointed out a break down of the book which might be a bit more reading, but given the frequency of the planned get togethers..it gives way more insight to a section of the book rather than just a single chapter.
