I'm not really a book person, but I frickin' love Darren Shan's Demonata series. Like, a lot. A lot a lot. I'm sad the series has finished.
The end was unsatisfying though.

I don't really know. It's hard to beat the Dresden Files for me. Wheel of Time is probably a close second. I can't wait for Ghost Story, I just reread Changes less than a week ago, and I forgot how badly it made me want the sequel... Which I'll read in a day and end up under incredible anticipation of the next one...
David Eddings' Elenium and Tamuli sagas. Lord, I miss that man. I've read and reread his books more than any others. Also, I have a soft spot for Glen Cook's Black Company series. I just finished the Books of Glittering Stone. Man, was that ending ever a kick in the balls, but it hurt so good. Anyway, he really sold me on first-person perspective writing.
Three-way tie between the Mistborn Trilogy, the Stormlight Archive, and the Gentleman Bastard sequence.
The Rift War Saga, by Raymond E. Feist, for fantasy, without a doubt.Gizmo1990 said:
Then though you have His Dark Materials Trilogy, by Philip Pullman, which is also amazing.
I'll also give a shout-out to The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov for sci-fi.
Then of course there are the obvious ones; Harry Potter, the Lord of The Rings, ect.
Mistborn, currently. My 'favourite' tends to change all the time but it's the most recent series that left a huge impact on me so it's my current favourite.
The Stormlight archive is looking amazingly promising. I can't believe I'm going to have to wait several years for the next one due to his other commitmentsUltimatheChosen said:
I want to know what happens!At least I'll have the alloy of law to tide me over in the next couple of months
Almost of the books I thought about putting have been said already. (Pendragon, LotR, Bartimaeus, Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, Legend of Drizzt and Wheel of Time)
So I'm going to choose Ranger's Apprentice and The Last Apprentice to be different, though Lord of the Rings is probably my real favorite.

naw, i'm just teasing ya, but in all honesty i agree wit you about Jim's 2 series, and the only reason codex is behind for me is because it has less books, but other than that... I'm a Jim fanatic, read both series in full twice so far and on my third already. but my favorite series outside of Jim butcher would have to be Artemis fowl, and the Pendragon series.
It's a hard choice, but I have to go with the the Discworld series. I would also like to give a quick mention to everything by Tamora Pierce, she's really talented. Most of the other books I would normally recommend have been mentioned already...
Oh, and I loathe the Harry Potter series. While I do appreciate the fact that it has encouraged people to read more, it is horribly written. It's full of clichés and cardboard cut-out characters that don't act like real people. I'm sorry, but if I was Voldemort I would just have had Professor Quirrell walk up to Harry in the first book and slit his throat. Problem solved.
