fullofsinx Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Dam nice book choice. I've read a good amount of the books, loved the song if ice and fire but not all them though. My favorite book series is a tough one, the Ender and Outlander books are good. Bubbles89 and Berelain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siri Ava Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 "The Malazan book of the fallen" I a really good dark fantasy series! 10 novels, I'm on the second so far! sengi and Malkevas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkevas Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hands down for me is the compilation of everything J.R.R Tolkien ( The father of of modern fantasy literature and high fantasy, also my idol ). The Lord of the Rings trilogyThe HobbitThe SilmarillionUnfinished TalesThe History of Middle-EarthThe Children of HurinEtc....

Hobbes09 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 A Song of Ice and Fire. That or The Black Company, depending on my mood. The former is one of the greater character pieces I've seen while the latter does well dragging the fantasy through the grit and bringing it down to our level.

Playme Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Frank Herbert: Dune series. I had to stop reading after the last book for it was getting into my dreams. Janet Frame poetry after many glasses of wine JamesJames and Malkevas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erdrick Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I used to love The Stainless Steel Rat series, by Harry Harrison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stainless_Steel_Rat RobbertM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_johnathan Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery Best book ever about the human condition, wrapped up in a child's story. It's full of symbolism and great quotes about the silliness of adults and their pursuits, and the meaning of love.If you wish to read the book: (It's public domain)http://www.angelfire.com/hi/littleprince/frames.htmlIf you wish to understand the background and hidden meanings:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Princehttp://www.sparknotes.com/lit/littleprince/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArachneMW Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ahhhh, it feels impossible to choose just one! So, not necessarily in the order of preference, big series: 1. Terry Pratchett's Discworld!!!---smart, funny, complex and highly entertaining!2. GGR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire---the TV show almost does it justice; the book is amazing, it feels so... raw and captivating!3. Tolkien, yes. I liked The Silmarillion best of all (read it at least three times!), and then The Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit, sorry, not so much. I still have to read The Children of Hurin. I don't think I have enough time in this lifetime to tackle the Unfinished Tales as well... 4. Frank Herbert's Dune---intricate, immersing and thought-provoking! I still have the last few to read (plus the new ones), and I already know it's one of my very favorites.5. JK Rowling's Harry Potter books---yup, unashamedly so; the writing is impeccable, the world-building is impressive, and it's certainly not just for children!6. Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles (two books published so far, the third is on its way, and we fans hope it will be more than a trilogy)---wonderful, wonderful books! I highly recommend them, ask me for details! 7. Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series---I actually have a love-hate relationship with this one, for personal reasons. And I was quite happy with the way Brandon Sanderson finished it off, at times I was nodding and saying to myself that he did a better job at it than Jordan could, he brought more life to the characters (don't hate me, Berelain--cool choice of name, by the way!) I've also read the first book of Jom Butcher's Dresden Files, I liked it, and I'm planning to read as many as I can. We'll see if it makes the list above or not. I'll be back with a choice of stand-alone books later. Berelain, Playme, JeanMi and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkevas Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have to agree with you ArachneMW.. i also do have a serious love/hate relationship with The Wheels of Time series... but anyway, that being said i'd like to add The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks to this list of incredibly well written series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Shannara ArachneMW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sengi Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The Ishmael series by Daniel Quinn is one of my favorite things ever. The Night's Dawn Trilogy is fun! I used to like HP Lovecraft a whole lot. The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons is really imaginative! I have to thank an anime of all things for introducing it to me! TheMelancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has the first book in the series show up as a plot device. ^___^ Siri Ava 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
