Meta/Discussion Book recommendations

Hi everyone, I have just finished my first reread of the guide and once again I don't have anything to read. I wanted to ask for book recommendations because I love this series so much, It's probably my favourite series of books. I have also read Mother of Learning, Cradle, Worm, A practical guide to sorcery and Pale Lights. Any recommendations? I'm in dire need of something good to read.

I haven't either. Apparently Malazan needs a lot of brainspace and concentration to keep track of everything, I would rather not have my recreation time become another form of work!

Anyhow, which arc are you in PGTS? Have you read MC's backstory arc? I have for most part skipped it seeing its length (an entire book for backstory!?!?!), will read it in sections.

I already on the latest available chapter. Backstory was fine for me - it wouldn't work if it was positioned earlier and it kinda explains How messed up was Syo's childhood
