Every week, I'll be making a pinned post inviting you to share your favorite books with the slop-hungry hogs of Hexbear yummy. Each week will be loosely structured around a particular genre, time period or other theme .

For the opening week's theme: Books you have read at least three times

Optional nerd discussion questions

What keeps or kept you coming back to them? How did your relationship to the text change across multiple readings?

If you have suggestions for future themes, DM me!

If you want to be pinged when I post the thread in the future, respond to this comment in the thread

    Malazan book of the fallen, the main ten books

    I can't really explain why I love this series so much without writing something that would resemble its own word count. Its most definitely not for everyone, which entirely understandable. You just gotta walk the chain of dogs, fight the pannion domain, witness the siege of capustan, the burning of yghatan, escape from malaz, experience the fall of lether(shout out to tehol and bug), and join the battle against kolanse. Not to mention all the small and large personal stories that take place between and during these events. Witnessing the tragedy of felisin, the brutal and violent rise of karsa, watch fiddler just keep going, how can helion drink her way outta this one. Just remember to light a candle for beak as he has finally found friends. Its incredibly dark at times but compassion does win out eventually

    If anything, its the only series I feel like reading it multiple times is required to even have the remotest idea of what the fuck is going on. Every read of the series till my 5-6th felt like I was filling in an incredibly detailed painting, which afterwords I could fully appreciate what had been done here
