What's your Favorite book series.

[keideki]

That is a toughie, I would have to split three ways between WoT, A Song of Fire and Ice, and Dragonlance.

 

[Fbuh]

Dune.

(That being the six books by Frank Herbert, not those written afterwards.)

Well said, good sir (or madam, as it may be). They afterwards read like fan fiction.

Mine would have to be Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Simon Green's Nightside would have to be a close second, just because of how interesting it is.

I like the Mortal Engines series by Phillip Reeve.
Though they're the only book series I've really read, other than Hitchhiker's guide, which is too obvious to suggest.

You Sir are awesome for having read both series.

For me apart for the aforementioned two, I also enjoy David Weber's Honor Harrington and Safehold series (Napoleonic Wars in SPACE!!!!!!!! and medieval stasis ending on a human colony respectively.

A Song of Ice and Fire

Not a big fan of series books , just like sequeal movies, i think they tend to drone . but hmmm if i had to choose, idk , would you consider watchmen to be a series ? with the different issues if so that

 

[James Hobbley]

Wheel of time for me - and the series is also now completed. Something i never thought would ever happen.

 

[Saviordd1]

I loved boneshaker, no i dont care if its not a series

 

[ACman]

Alliance/Union By CJ Cherryh

 

[Slaanax]

I like reading series, but honestly I don't have really one.

 

[Mr.Wizard]

The Farseer Trilogy and the Tawny Man trilogy by Robin Hobb. Some of the best character development I have ever read in a book series and still the only books that have ever made me cry (or book I should say, it was only one part).

 

[HDi]

I really liked His Dark Materials.

 

[The Thinker]

By quantity and quality, Discworld.

Series? I still vote Artemis Fowl, it's a great series for all ages.

Vibrating shouldn't make you invisible. The time travel trick should've worked multiple times (in Time Paradox). Gah! *Bangs head against wall* Sorry. I kind of dislike that series.

 

[Nobby]

Peter f Hamilton's Night's Dawn and commonwealth series and also discworld, Gaunts Ghosts, Brian Jacques redwall series and recently ASoIaF.

 

[Aglaid]

the Night Watch series by Sergei Lukyanenko is pretty good, either that or the Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

 

[UtopiaV1]

Gaunt's Ghost novels by Dan E. Abnett. Absolutely amazing 40k books, expertly written.

 

[spielberg11]

The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Need I say more?

 

[Darwins_Folly]

Either the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson or Song of Ice and Fire series.

 

[The Woolly One]

I like the Mortal Engines series by Phillip Reeve.
Though they're the only book series I've really read, other than Hitchhiker's guide, which is too obvious to suggest.

Both of these, plus Lord of the Rings, His Dark Materials and the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix.

The Mortal Engines series is fantastic, particularly the last book - A Darkling Plain.

The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan.

Pretty much all of my other favourite books have been mentioned already(Night angel trilogy, wheel of time, mistborn), but The Black Magician Trilogy still remains to be my favourite. I had to re-buy them a second time because my old copies were falling apart from use. It's not as complex or technically as great as the other ones I mentioned, but whenever I pick it up I can't put it down again until I finish it.

I agree with you on that. I just bought the Magician's Guild on an impulse cause it looked quite good from the blurb but I read that damn thing in pretty much 2 or 3 sittings. I was just hooked. The other ones were much the same, just ploughed through them. Particularly the climactic chapters of The High Lord, those were some of the most amazing-feeling chapters I've read in any book.

To think, I still have the prequel book and 2 of the 3 sequel trilogy books to read. Might do it as a marathon. Prequel, Magician's Guild, The Novice, The High Lord, the Ambassador's Mission, then the Rogue. Then to wait for the final book of the Traitor Spy trilogy to be released.

Back OT: "The Bartimaeus Trilogy" (plus prequel) is also one of my favourite series of books. Amazing mythology, fantastic characters, gripping stories and very well-written.

 

[Calico93]

Apart from Harry Potter, Im saying Darren Shan's Demonata series. All 10 books really work together and all flow really well.
Not as well known as his Vampire series but IMO better.

This is just random but the book im reading atm is amazing. The original Tarzan Of The Apes. Might check out the rest of the series.
