I would go with Malazan. It's a great series. Main core (10 books) is finished (unlike GRRM's ASOIAF, as much as that one is my favorite). And there is so much to immerse oneself in and explore. Erikson is an archaeologists by profession so he created this huge, old world full of different races and mysteries.
This is the complete reading list from the members of Malazan forum, including all the novellas, novelettes, short stories etc

Spoiler:

Malazan is an epitome of epic fantasy imo. It's not a series for a casual fantasy reader. I think it is most enjoyed by people who have been reading epic fantasy for years. Don't expect you'll understand much from book 1 and 2. I just started piecing things together, small things in book 3 (Memories of Ice).

I wouldn't bother with Goodking.
