It has become my habit to read (almost every night) as I go to bed. A "Hivean" friend from PHC @notacinephile turned me on to this series

<center>![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jerrytsuseer/mmrbnQYN-image.png)</center>
All ten volumes of New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson’s epic fantasy series featuring vast legions of gods, mages, humans, and dragons battling for destiny of the Malazan Empire are collected together in one e-Book bundle. 

In this epic fantasy series, Erikson draws on his twenty years of experience as an anthropologist and archaeologist, as well as his expert storytelling skills. The Complete Malazan Book of the Fallen includes:
<center>Gardens of the Moon
Deadhouse Gates
Memories of Ice
House of Chains
Midnight Tides
The Bonehunters
Reaper's Gale
Toll the Hounds
Dust of Dreams
The Crippled God
</center>
That is a total of 8,236 pages. I'm a little over half way through.
<sup>what I ~~don't~~ like, pages and ages of blood, guts betrayal and violence</sup>
What I DO like, the characters many times have very interesting and amusing verbal exchanges, puzzling history (that I am still trying to pull together in some semblance of understanding)
All told, I am glad I spent $82 to purchase all those books at once.
There you go @stevenson7 😜

In mass media paperback versions, the page count is over 11,000 ;) 
One of the largest series you could say!

I was quite intimidated by the girth of the (imaginary) book in my hands, as an ebook its much easier to flit my way through, but I can't tell you which book I'm in right now

That's a bummer! There's no indication then, huh? Weird!

Holly smokes Jerry, that is a lot of pages. The last time I saw this much volumes was when I went through the adventures of sherlock Holmes.

And maybe Hannibal (laying there in my e-library)

I guess we can both agree that @notacinephile is a good influence, ;).
