I started this topic so people can share what their favorite book series is.

Mine would definately have to be:

The Tom Clancy Ryanverse Series.

http://www.clancyfaq.com/ryanverse.htm

Except for two books in the series (Cardinal of the Kremlin, and Red Rabbit), each book is packed with action, politics, and espionage.

I would definately recommend these books to anyone who hasn't read them.

What is your favorite series?

Good question.

I think probably Asimov's "Foundation" series would be my all-time favourite.

One of my favourites now is A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. As a kid, I loved The Black Stallion by Walter Farley. :P

My favorite is still the "burglar" series by Lawrence Block.

Basically the same story over and over again and yet- I love it.

Pat Barker's trilogy Regeneration, The Eye In The Door and The Ghost Road are comfort books for me, like blankets and tea and cake.

Well for me It would have to be James Clavell's "ASIAN SAGA"

SHOGUN
GAIJIN
TAIPAN
NOBLE HOUSE
WHIRLWIND

All of these books are PAGE TURNERS.... for BOOKWORMS...

2nd would be Tom Clancy's "RYANVERSE"

3rd would be WEB Griffin's "The Brotherhood of WAR Series"


I am still in the process of Reading WEB Griffin's 3 remaining series that I have namely, "THE CORP" "HONOR BOUND" & "MEN AT WAR"

For me, it would have to be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
especially the first three books.

It seems that the only series that I've ever read are fantasy ones. I really liked all of the series of David Eddings (The Belgariad, The Tamuli etc.) and Dave Duncan's "Kings Blade's" series.

The ones that I did not like were LOTR, and especially Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series. I swear to god that Jordan is on a paid-per-word contract or something.

Too many to pick. LOTR? Wheel of Time? Enders Game? Dragonlance? Riftwar series? Dune?

I would have to say the Dune series, Wheel of Time, and Enders Game series have a tree way tie.

Good question.

I think probably Asimov's "Foundation" series would be my all-time favourite.

I loved them also, but I would have to go with H2G2.

Oh and chaps who have listed 4 or 5, come on, plump for one. I also loved the Ender ones and Dune and Thomas Covenant and LOTR and Discworld and the Lensmen.

However the point is you need to pick one like.

Several of the ones mentioned already are great.

The Foundation series especially.


But another couple of good ones are:

The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Stephen Erikson and Richard Morgan's books about Takeshi Kovacs, ie Altered Carbon, Broken Angels and Woken Furies.

I'll second that about Erikson's series and the Takeshi Kovacs books.

The Foundation, though - having re-read it a while ago, after remembering it very fondly from having read it during my teenage years, I was pretty disappointed. The writing is pretty simplistic, and a lot of things I used to find clever just seem silly.

My fav. are Honor Harrington series by David Weber, Baen Books and The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.....


It seems quite a few ppl like LOTR and Riftwar saga series... but i didnt much like them...'cause LOTR is too slow....and Riftwar Saga is tooo fast and devoid of real human feelings - i seriously never could like any of the characters that much to hold them in my heart....
