"The Dark Tower" by Stephen King (of course) "The Lord of the Rings" plus "The Silmarillion" by JRR Tolkien "Earth's Children" by Jean Auel "Shannara" by Terry Brooks (esp. "The Heritage of Shannara") "Honor Harrington" by David Weber I also enjoy the various fantasy series written by David and Leigh Eddings. "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan is up there too but I haven't finished reading it yet (the last books have yet to be released). Reply #42. Sep 25 10, 9:33 AM |

The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings are my favorites. I also read all the Oz books when I was a kid and really liked them. Reply #43. Sep 26 10, 2:57 PM |

I would like to add the Inspector Montlbano series by Andrea Camilleri to my list of crime novels. I only just started reading them after picking up half a dozen cheap copies for $5 each. Money well spent. Reply #45. Oct 11 10, 5:32 AM |

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogy would be my favorite. Also really enjoyed 'The Foundation' series by Issac Asimov and 'Dune' by Frank Herbert. Reply #48. Nov 01 10, 1:42 PM |

Harry Potter The Flashman Series The Southern Vampire Series by Charlene Harris - definitely a guilty pleasure! The 'Jill' series by Ruby Ferguson (when I was a child of course, but I may revisit once the books are back in print) Reply #49. Nov 01 10, 2:53 PM |

My favorites are pretty much all mystery series. Number one is Stuart M Kaminsky's Inspector Rostnikov series set in Moscow. I also like his Toby Peters series. Favorites by other authors include M. C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin series and Rhys Bowen's Evan Evans and Molly Murphy. Reply #51. Jan 29 11, 7:28 PM |

I wonder if someone knows The Witcher - a fantasy series by a Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. I read it was translated into English last year. I thoroughly recommend it. Reply #53. Jan 29 11, 8:33 PM |

Wayman, Michael Connelly's Heironymous Bosch series might be added to my list eventually. I've read three or so which I happened to pick up and loved them and the character. Recently decided to read the entire series from the beginning and am just starting Black Echo. Not only do I love the character, but Connelly's writing style appeals to me. Reply #57.

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series was brilliant and I fell in love with big Jamie Fraser. I also enjoyed Catherine Cookson's Mallen Trilogy. Reply #58. Feb 27 11, 8:20 AM |

Dagny, glad I caught your post before you got too far. Michael Connelly has four series: Harry Bosch, Terry McCaleb, Mickey Haller, and Jack McEvoy, plus a couple of stand alones. My advice to you is to read them all as if they were one big series, in order of publication dates. Alot of the characters intertwine and make appearances in each others' series, with some surprising connections. Can't tell you more without spoiling. Happy reading! Reply #59. Feb 27 11, 10:48 AM |

Wow, thanks for the tip, Wayman. My "shopping" list sure did just expand, lol. I've read the first third of Black Echo and it is outstanding! Reply #60. Feb 27 11, 9:03 PM |
