You have to be the only person I've ever met who prefers Erikson's first book over the second.

Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson...Probably one of the most intense fantasies I've ever read. I like the plot, the many characters and the writing style. The second book was not nearly as good, yes I still enjoyed it, but it brought my rating of the series from about a nine to a six. the third book is redeeming it however.
The third book is fantastic and among my favourite ever fantasy books, but most people would rank The Deadhouse Gates not too far below. Interesting that you like it so much less than GotM... want to explain why?
What are your top ten reads of 2010?

I'll give you a top five. I only read about 25 books so the top 10 isn't necessarily "good".

I enjoyed Mahfouz, but I agree the translation wasn't stellar

I read a Dutch translation, so presumably not the same one as yours.

Yeah. Whenever I think of DH- it's always the Chain of Dogs.
