Favorite Scifi/Fantasy book series

[pokerdog]

Didn't see any book forum so started this thread....
There's all the obvious such as Dragonlance, Hitchhiker's, etc.... one of my all time favorites though has got to be Myth series by Aspirin... I'm really starting this thread for new books I haven't read yet

Tarzan
The Pellucidar series
John Carter of Mars

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
John Norman's "Gor" series


There are others, but that's enough for right now.

 

[Abaddon]

HItchiker's.

 

[Mr.Webs]

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. A brilliant book...still my favorite sci-fi endeavor done by any author. Except for Douglas Adams and his Hitchiker's Trilogy, of course.

The trilogy that isn't quite a trilogy.

 

[Danalys]

it's a trilogy with an extended epilog.

 

[8Ball2/JanG5]

Sphere, Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain by Crichton

after that and a bunch more mediocre books I pretty much stopped reading these types of books.

they didn't explain much tho

 

[Superman79]

The Wheel Of Time Series by Robert Jordan...I love em, but I wish he'd just finish it!!

 

[DBella]

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephan R. Donaldson

IMO the best ever

I agree. Although I've only read the first series.

Dragonlance Chronicles - Weis & Hickman
The Dark Elf Trilogy - R.A. Salvatore
The Hunter's Blade - R.A. Salvatore
The Time Master Trilogy - Louise Cooper
Indigo Trilogy - Louise Cooper
The Chronicles of Prydain - Lloyd Alexander
Dune Series - Frank Herbert
Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future - Mike Resnick

I am such a geek and there are too many for me to list and I'm lazy right now so I'll stop here.

 

[Carter]

Sphere, Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain by Crichton

after that and a bunch more mediocre books I pretty much stopped reading these types of books.

He's awesome
Timeline is one of my favorites.

State of Fear kind of sucked.

The Wheel Of Time Series by Robert Jordan...I love em, but I wish he'd just finish it!!

Couldn't agree more.... the last few have had some really good moments but overall I feel like they're the buildup to a final conclusion that is always one book away.... love the series, but will love to see it conclude also

Great Kids series he had unbreakable bones like a certain someone.

It was a bit like EE Doc Smiths Lord Tedric for a younger audience. You must be in your late 30's?
