Hello! As I make my way through Steven Erikson's ten book series, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, I'm keeping track of the major plot points. Though I plan to read all ten, I'm not planning to read them one directly after another. So in order to refresh my memory of everthing that happened before starting the next in the series, I've been taking some notes. You can see them for yourself on the via the linked titles above. (Some notes are more detailed than others).
Currently, I've only finished the first three books. But I will be making additions as I progress.
These are NOT recommended for those who have NOT already read the books in question, since these notes give away the story. But if they help you as you make your own way through Erikson's thrilling tales, drop me a line and say hello! Comments are welcome.
Thanks,

update 2-sep-2010:
I know, I know... I still haven't started House of Chains. But I'm still planning on it.
Also: I revisited some of the forums over at malazan empire and saw some comments about my story synopses not being completely accurate and/or me being a clueless idiot. Whatever. Get a life. This series doesn't lend itself to easy summarization. And my notes are — should be obvious — a condensing of the plot. If you want to pick them apart, have at it, you dork. Mostly these notes are for my benefit because I plan on reading many books between reading these titles and these are (fairly) quick refreshers on what's happened so far. And I'm not big on re-reading. Too many other books to read to waste time with that.
Regardless, comments of any sort ("love your site!" / "you're an ass!" / "I'm reading [x] and loving it!") are welcome because, hey, it's fun, right?
