Forgottenrealms Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 In case you haven't figured out from my user name, my favorite major book series is the Forgotten Realms series, but my favorite mini series in that series has to be the Shandril's Saga by Ed Greenwood. 1

Thorn Wilde Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which is a trilogy in 5 parts) and His Dark Materials (which is just a trilogy). Also Harry Potter, still, and A Song of Ice and Fire. And The Dresden Files. Heh, when I started this list I was like, do I actually read any book series anymore? Apparently I do...
iSimba Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time series. I suppose I should say Harry Potter but I hated all the books. 1
Thorn Wilde Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time series. I suppose I should say Harry Potter but I hated all the books. Oh my God, Sword of Truth! I used to love those. Read up to The Pillars of Creation, but then that one was just SO BORING and I couldn't take it anymore. First couple of books were pretty great, though.
layla Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 The Black Dagger Brotherhood Anne Rice's Vampire chronicles The Lord of the rings Trilogy The Harry Potter series David Demmell's Drenai series and Regante series

Percy Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Stephen King's Dark Tower books which are strangely the only books by him I've enjoyed. When I was a kid there was The Great Brain series which long remained a favorite. That must have been when I was around 7 years old. Those and the choose your own adventure books are part of what made me love to read.
Thorn Wilde Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Oh, my first series that I was completely hooked on was Animorphs. They're not technically good (okay, so they're complete crap, really), but I really loved them when I was a kid, so they hold a special place in my heart still. :3
Site Administrator Cia Posted August 23, 2013 Site Administrator Posted August 23, 2013 I tend to only buy series, actually, but I don't have any one favorite and I've found after so long, they tend to get blah. Some of the ones I own: Black Dagger Brotherhood Immortals After Dark Anita Blake Argeneau Series Dark Hunters Wheel of Time Sword of Truth Dune LoTR Little House on the Prairie Outlander Dragonriders of Pern Freedom Series Anne of Green Gables New Species Xxan War ... and many, many more
Slytherin Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 The Lord of the rings Trilogy - JRR Tolkien Harry Potter (green and silver rules ) J K Rowling and of course The Legend of the Ice People by Margit Sandemo
huktaunluv Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Cassandra Clare - The Mortal Instruments Series JK Rowling - Harry Potter Series R.A. Salvatore - The DemonWars Saga When I was a kid it was: Sweet Valley Junior High Sweet Valley High Anne M. Martin - The Baby-sitters Club Christopher Pike's - Chain Letter, Final Friends and Remember Me R,L. Stine's - Fear Street
Greg_A Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 My tastes in reading all over the map. But if we limit to just fiction a few of my favorites would be: The Belgariad - Eddings The Malloreon - Eddings The Elenium - Eddings The Tamuli - Eddings The Amber Series - Zelazny Dancing Gods Series - Chalker Well World Series - Chalker Darwath Series - Hambly Windrose Chronicles - Hambly The James Asher series - Hambly Mistborn Trilogy - Sanderson Black Magician Trilogy - Canavan 1
iSimba Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Someone here jogged my memory. The Dark Tower series is absolutely fantastic and if you haven't read it, you need to. Also, the Chronicles of Drizzt is rather good if you can deal with the crap the last couple books were.
B1ue Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Harry Potter Honor Harrington by David Weber Demon's Lexicon Trilogy by Sarah Rees Brennan The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold There's others I read over and over but these head the list.
Celethiel Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 well I like L.E. Modisitt Jr's Imager Series Most of Edding's series of books... which the exception of the Dreamers and the Redemption of Athalus...(they ended really lame) Raymond E. Fiests continueing sagas about Pug. Sword of Truth up to the pillars of Creation... The Wheel of Time. Scott Lynch's Lies of Locke Lamora, and Red Seas Under Red Skies... I like lots of others, but those are the ones i like the most... (although not in any particular Order)
JamesSavik Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Oh my God! I'm laughing my ass completely off! HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THUMP! The Service of the Sword is a collection of short stories and novellas. One of the stories is called A Ship Named Francis. It's the funniest damned thing I've ever read. You must find it and laugh your ass off too. wikipedia entry: A Ship Named Francis by John Ringo and Victor Mitchell Sean Tyler, a corpman in the Royal Manticorian Navy, thought that a stint as a loaner in the explosively-growing Grayson Space Navy would boost his career. So, when there was a slot vacant on board the cruiser Francis Mueller, his wish was granted. Unfortunately for Corpsman Tyler, no one told him that almost everybody on board the Francis—from the clueless captain to the psychotic XO and the panicky chaplain—had been sent there because no one else in the entire Grayson Space Navy wants them. Hilarity ensues...
B1ue Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Agreed about, "A Ship Named Francis." I almost included John Ringo's Legacy of Aldenata series, but really it's just Gust Front that I enjoy as much as I do. It is probably my single favorite Military sci-fi novel ever, and that's counting Honor Harrington and the Stars at War series. Luckily, that novel is available for free, as is it's predecessor in it's series, A Hymn Before Battle. Baen is a pretty cool publisher. Between them and Nifty, it seemed like most of my reading was in digital format years before Kindles hit the market. It made switching over to all digital a no brainer.
Kitt Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time series. I suppose I should say Harry Potter but I hated all the books. Both were excellent - wish they would finish em but its hard for Jordan to write after he have passed away. Eddings has 5 excellent series out as well.
Thorn Wilde Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 its hard for Jordan to write after he have passed away. Didn't stop Frank Herbert.
Ron Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Both were excellent - wish they would finish em but its hard for Jordan to write after he have passed away. Eddings has 5 excellent series out as well. Wheel of time has been finished by Sanderson based on Jordan's extensive notes and with the wife's approval. The last novel in the series is on it's 5th printing, I believe. I've been savoring it section by section (not chapter) so I can prolong the finish.
Kitt Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks for letting me know Ron. I had stopped looking for new material when I learned of his passing.
