I love Pratchett's Discworld
I love Pratchett's Discworld
I am amazed the the person who started this didnt mention his own namesake. I read the first few pages of this and decided to just post.
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan !! Gotta love it !!
also of course LotR
I did enjoy the Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind, but it got a little repetative after the first 5 books, same plot, new scenery.
Of course both Vampires and Witchs by Anne Rice (I am hoping the new Angel series is good, am getting ready to read the first installment)
I liked the Thomas Covenant series.
Piers Anthony's Xanth series was fun (I read the first 20 or so books and got a littlle sidetracked). Also like the Incarnations of Immortality he did, great stuff.
I loved Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia of course, as well as the Twilight Saga.
Jim Butchers the Dresden Files is fun too.
Mark Anthonys The Last Rune series was great !!
Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga.
Boy there are just so many good series out there.

still a good thread--
some great reads here
make a fire for a man and you warm him for the nite
light him on fire and you warm him for the rest of his life
DragonLance anyone? maybe not but it's still my favorite
The other best book series for me is Richard Stark's PARKER series!
Blazing writing with amazing characters and the most cold criminal brain ever imagined.

Did anyone mention Andrzej Sapkowski and his books from "The Witcher" series? It might be that not all of them have been translated to English yet, but they will be worth a look once they are - it's fantasy with a touch of Slavic mythology.
My two favorite series are Dragonlance (but I only liked the Weis and Hickman written stories) and The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey.
Okay so I have to get in on this...definitely my faves other than TDT (to which there is no comparison) are:
Harry Potter
A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin (awesomeness)
and *a little ashamed of this one* Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris

Bahahaaaa! Sookie is nothing to be ashamed of!
Welcome back, you haven't been here in aaaages!
I know, it's just that those books are so girly and romance-novel-y, which is not at all what I usually like to read.Originally Posted by Darkthoughts

And thankee sai, it has been a long time, and I'm glad to be back. Falling back into the palaver is kinda hard though, all these threads are so long! I'll never be able to read them all to the newest posts, so I'm just jumping in wherever.

I vote you jump into the fottergraphs thread immediately! I used to love your photos
I know what you mean about Sookie. I avoided them for the longest time and ended up reading one whilst bored at my sister's house. It's everything I hate in a book and yet...I can't get enough of them!
Thankee! Mayhap I'll take a gander in there...I haven't changed much but boy is my daughter a cutie pie. I think everyone should see a fottergraf or two of her for sure.I vote you jump into the fottergraphs thread immediately! I used to love your photos

I have lots...
LOTR (and all companion novels)
A Song of Ice and Fire
The Dresden Files
The Mistborn Series - Brandon Sanderson
The Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan
The Legend of Drizzt - R.A. Salvatore
The Fionavar Tapestry - Guy Gavriel Kay
The King Raven Trilogy and The Song of Albion - Stephen Lawhead
I have a tendency to get involved in series rather than standalone books, it seems. It's not on purpose, but it does tend to get a bit expensive...
Mine are currently:
The Stephanie Plum series
The Dresden Files
The Felix Castor series
Lisa - are you a fan of the Ender's Game series ?
I have read some of the Drizzt series. I love them, the idea of a dark elf is very interesting to me. What do you think of the series Pond?

I really like them, personally! How far are you along in the series? The nice part about the series, for me, is that it really examines a lot of ethical and moral issues, without making it heavy or unenjoyable. For example, just look at the "Drizzt journals" between each sections of the book. Those are my favorite parts of those books.
Awhile back I had someone buy me the three books in the Fionavar Tapestry, but I haven't read them yet. I need to get on that.
I also prefer series to stand alone books, but that's just because I like getting attached to characters and reading more and more about them.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
I think that The Dresden Files is probably my favorite series as of late. It changes a lot.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
The Dune series through God Emperor of Dune
Harry Potter
Percy Jackson (I've been reading the Greek Myths since I was 8)
The Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony
And I think I'll stop there.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.
August 2, 1947 - September 24, 2010
I have made it to the Crystal Shard. I would like to continue to read all of them; however, there are a lot of things I wish to do and only so much time to do them in. I have to say I was very upset with what happened to Drizzt's birth father, and I am really interested in actually going back to his Homeland... I just found the plot lines there to be better than the ones where he is on the surface... then again, there are still at least six books I haven't read yet. One thing that bothers me about the way it is written is how it always goes back to his 'bleeding heart' and him questioning how other people are. I kind of feel, I know they are already, you don't have to describe their immorality for the tenth time.I have read some of the Drizzt series.
