Book Series? Your Favourite(s)

Just wondering out of curiosity why someone from the states is using a British spelling of favourite.

And the vampire series by Anne Rice when I was a kid, it was before twilight and all that crap though those movies really took something away from the myth of the vampire.

Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned are awesome movies if you don't want to read the books, though the books actually are better just because they are longer; though the movies actually did do them justice, it would be impractical though to have a movie run as long as the books do.

Take a hint Lord of the Rings.

 

George R R Martin's 'A Song Of Ice & Fire' is excellent, much better than the TV adaptation. I also really enjoyed Brandon Sanderson's 'Mistborn' trilogy.

 

A Song of Ice and Fire is absolutely incredible (also known as "Game of Thrones"). However, I would have to disagree with you, Given - in my opinion, the show is fantastic due to its excellent writing, excellent acting, and of course, excellent source material.

 

I'm not saying that Game of Thrones is bad - it isn't - it's just good in a completely different way from the books, which by their nature develop the characters much more

 

I would still have to disagree with you there - I think both adaptations are pretty much perfection - but I guess it's just a matter of opinion. Another fantastic series I'm really into are the Old Man's War books by John Scalzi.

As for favorite series when I was younger, I loved the Ender's Game books. Quite excited for the movie.

 

'Sword of Truth' series by Terry Goodkind, 'A Song of Fire and Ice' series by George R. R. Martin, and the 'The Wheel of Time' series by Robert Jordan.

 

His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
The Moomins - Tove Jansson
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll

 

Steven Erikson's The Malazan Book of the Fallen. Very epic fantasy. Incredibly difficult to read, though; super dense writing, thrown into the middle of everything without nary an explanation, and about 500 different plot threads all woven together. Still, the worldbuilding is fantastic, and if you can get into the writing it is amazing.

 

Sword of Truth has 13 books plus a spin-off book closely related to the series. As for pages that will vary between hardcover and soft. 600 is probably a good average for the hardcover, and 800 for the softcover. I think the longest is around 1000.

Not done with the other two series yet, so I don't know for them, but I'm loving them.

 

I LOVED the His Dark Materials books!

 

Fallen series by Lauren Kate.
Great for a romantic like myself.

 

Divergent is greatness. I'm still waiting for the third book.

 

Inheritance series, although I haven't read the last book! Anything by Dean Koontz like Intensity or The Face.

 

When I was in elementary school, I read the entire series of Encyclopedia Brown, a boy who helps his dad, who's chief of police, solve crimes.

In high school, I went through a John Grisham phase and read most of his legal thrillers.

Now, whatever my professors assign.
