Well seeing as Harry Potter is the only book I've ever gone and waited in line on the day it came out I think I'd have to go for it. I also loved the 'Flambards' set by K.M. Peyton Though, remembering my childhood, I think I'd better add some Enid Blyton in there - particularly Malory Towers and St Clares Reply #21. Feb 27 09, 2:51 AM |

I really enjoy Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, and the Jean Auel books. And the JD Robb 'In Death' series. Reply #22. Feb 27 09, 3:24 AM |

I'm a Diana Gabaldon fan, so I have to say the Outlander series, though it has its ups and downs. Reply #24. Mar 05 09, 6:41 PM |

Hear hear, Kathy. Love the Dark Tower. I've been a Tower Junkie since 1988. Eat those books up. If you're into it, check out the comic books/graphic novels that have come out lately. They fill in the story between Wizard and Glass and The Gunslinger. So far, AMAZING. Make sure you get the individual comics (even if it costs more) instead of the compilation as there are additional sections in the individual comics than there are in the bound set. At least so far as I have heard - if I am wrong, anyone, please correct me on this. Great stories. I used to love Lord of the Rings when I was a kid but The Dark Tower just destroys it. So much better storytelling, better character development by FAR. That's the one thing Stephen King has over most other writers is character development. One of the best I've ever read when it comes to that. You know each character as if they were family. Reply #27. Mar 07 09, 8:57 AM |

Stephen King: The Dark Tower (also like the way all his other books have connected to the Tower and the way in which his Castle Rock books connect, although, not technically a series.) Lawrence Block: The Matthew Scudder novels, The Burglar series, the Hitman series, and the Tanner series. Douglas Adams: The Hitchiker series. JK Rowling: The Harry Potter series. Janet Evanovich: The Stephanie Plum series. James Patterson: The Alex Cross series (not a very good write, but he knows how to make you keep turning the pages). Yeah, I read a lot. Reply #30.

I really should proofread my posts, especially when I'm claiming an author isn't a good writer, which is what it should say for James Patterson. Reply #31. Mar 31 09, 11:38 AM |

The Belgariad and Malloren Series by David Eddings. I've re-read the series 5 times already. Also the Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind are good too. Reply #37. Aug 07 09, 11:25 PM |

My favorite series is the "Left Behind" series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. I love "Glorious Appearing"! Reply #38. Jun 05 10, 4:38 PM |

I quite like crime fiction and here are a few of my favourites. Falco series by Lindsey Davis Brother Cadfael by Ellis Peters 87th Precinct by Ed McBain Erast Fandorin by Boris Akunin Martin Beck by Maj Sjowall & Per Wahloo Also, although not crime fiction, I must mention George MacDonald Fraser's series of Flashman stories. Yes I know Flashy is a bully, a cad, a coward, a cheat, a racist, a sexist, a snivelling, grovelling, blubbering and downright despicable specimen of man, but by Jove I love him. Absolute crack-up of a series. Reply #39. Jul 03 10, 11:59 PM |

The Anne of Green Gables series for me, and the Emily books, the Famous Five, The Secret Three, All the Jane Austen and Bronte Sisters works - and of course, Shakespeare and the Metaphysical poets Reply #40. Aug 08 10, 11:26 PM |
