I just completed The Terror by Dan Simmons and I am currently reading the second book in the Malazan series by Erikson, Deadhouse Gates.

Malazan is amazing.

I found quite difficult to assess the Terror. It was quite a long read for the first 700 pages, then I really enjoyed the last 2 hundreds. But in retrospect I appreciate this slow pace so ... I am not sure about my judgement. In the end I am glad to have read it. I also learned a lot about people and cultures of the Artic circle.

After the Malazan novel I will probably follow upon the third one, but I could also switch back to (re) reading Iain M. Banks or reading Peake's Ghormenghast for the first time.

I am 3/4 with the books you mentioned so you appear to be a kindred spirit. Haven’t read Iain M Banks.

I’ll be interested to hear what you think on how Deadhouse Gates comes together. Have fun!

Recently finished "how to do nothing" by Jenny Odell. Working on her latest book now about saving time.
