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.
This is difficult
The lord of the rings.
The Riftwar Saga by Feist
and Donaldson's Thomas Covenant series
james bond 007
as a kid: Enid Blyton - The Famous Five
now: LOTR
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
:shuriken:
Ender's Game books by Orson Scott Card
My favorite is still the "burglar" series by Lawrence Block.
Basically the same story over and over again and yet- I love it.
has to be LOTR
lol ill be the ignorant ass and say X-men, unless i can pick by author. then id say Richard Wright..... oooh or Iceberg Slim
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.
Peirs Anthony ....Incarnations of immortality
I would also add Orson scott cards Ender series and the shadow series.
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"
since my last post I have read tom clancy's net force which was good.
Reading the Dresden Files at the moment and Have been hooked on Jim Butchers writting style. Have them in MS Lit format.
I have posted them on this site: http://linkzshare.net/index.php
Dune Series probably
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.
Wheel of Time, Dune, Sword of truth, song of ice and fire , LOTR.
Everything in the xmen series FTW...
Neil Gaiman - Sandman
My favorite is lord of the rings
Stephen King - The Dark Tower Series. My favourite graphic novel series is probably The Preacher.
I loved them also, but I would have to go with H2G2.Quote:

However the point is you need to pick one like.
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - Stephen Donaldson
The Gap Series - Stephen Donaldson
Discworld novels -Terry Pratchett
James Herbert's Rats and sequels
Stephen King's Dark Tower novels
The Vampire Chronicles - Anne Rice
Amtrak Wars - Patrick Tilley
Shaun Hutson's Sean Doyle stories
His Dark Materials - Phillip Pullman
The New York Trilogy - Paul Auster
The Sprawl Trilogy - William Gibson
Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
The Chronicles of Predain - Lloyd Alexander
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.

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.
disc world
Lord of the Rings.
clasic ... Aleksander Dumas, Victor Hugo, Jack London, Ernest Hemingway ...
if graphic novel (IE 'COMIC'), i'd also say Neil Gaiman (sandman series). Definite recommendation.
otherwise, dune series by frank herbert or thomas covenant series by stephen donaldson
The Mark Haddon series , i would suggest
lord of the rings
I have two books for about tom clancy and in futher I will buying books dan brown
.
A Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin
Hornblower, by C.S. Forester
Hyperion/Endymion, by Dan Simmons
Sandman, by Neal Gaiman
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....
Only Harry porter!
