    The Malazan Book of the Fallen saga is so long that I tend to forget most of the plot of the earlier books by the time I finish.

        That’s fair, I really enjoy my rereads. While I do remember the main story beats and characters across the series, there’s just so much to remember! The depth of the world is easily on par with, if not surpassing, Tolkien’s work.

      The black company had some good reread value, at least the first three! If you havnt read em, you absolutely should.

        Nice suggestion! I have read them, and they’re really good, but I haven’t found myself rereading that series like I have with Malazan!

    A Clockwork Orange The Ware series by Rudy Rucker Heartstones by Ruth Rendell Coal by J. Jason Grant Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

      I haven’t read it because I’m afraid I won’t like it as much as I do the movie. It happened with Jeeves & Wooster. I’d seen the series before I picked up the first book, and the Jeeves described in the book was so different from Stephen Fry - who was Jeeves, in my mind, that I just couldn’t enjoy the books.

        It is sufficiently different to piss you off at first, but it’s a really good read.
