Title: What's your favourite book/book series?
Post by: Vilirok on July 06, 2012, 12:13:42 AM
The subject makes this pretty obvious. Post your favourite books and or series of books her.

My favourite series is probably: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.

All the Darren Shan books so far, Demonata and Vampire ones
The series of books starting from Magician by Raymond E. Feist.
The Dragons of Pern collection by Anne McCaffery
Lord of the Rings by Tolkein
The Broken Sky series by Chris Wooding
The Belgariad, the Mallorean, the Elenium, the Tamuli, and the Dreamers series by David Eddings

The Chronicles of The Raven, the Legend of The Raven, Elves, and the Ascendents of Estoria series by James Barclay

And those are just the series of books and authors I can think off the top of my head :) Kinda hard to pick a definitive favourite though...

If I really had to pick I´d go with the series: Earth's Children by Jean M. Auel
Why? Because aside from the general theme it's so detailed. I really like how the images are being painted. Definately worth a read.

A Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson
A lovely book series, first book is a bit hard to get into, but once I was past about 150 pages, I couldn't stop.
