What to follow Malazan with? Looking for palate cleanser before diving into next big thing.

So I've been in the Malazan marathon for a while. Currently early in book nine, but expect to be done book ten within a month. It's fantastic (pun intended)! Going to need something to cleanse the palate after such a rich series -- the speculative fiction equivalent of the pickled ginger served with sushi. Any suggestions?
