Started Dungeon Crawler Carl. Needed a junk food palette cleanser series before taking another stab at Malazan. Last time, I got to book 6.
As usual, staying current The Wandering Inn by Pirateaba. Slice-of-life epic fantasy. I'd like to do a reread after the current Volume wraps up, but that will take months.
Also working on Tim Dorsey's Serge Storms books for my non-fantasy sidepiece. Kind of like Dexter but more schizo and with a fetish for obscure Florida trivia.
I need to take a break from overly long series at some point. Have a ton of good trilogies built up, like The Belgariad.

Isn't Malazan the series where everyone says to skip the first book and go straight to the second

I've never heard that, but I can see that working. It's very dense, you only get exposition through natural dialog. So you're intentionally treading water and trying to catch up. Rereads are very neat, because you actually know the context better.
The author is an archaeologist, very good at layering cultures over history.
