The best series of books that I have ever read hands down is "The Sword of Truth" Series by Terry Goodkind (http://www.terrygoodkind.com/books.shtml)

I love the series because it builds and builds and builds. There are some points where it's so epic that it will literally make the hair stand up on your arms. It's one of those series where when reading it you can actually feel like you are there, it's so vividly detailed and plotted that you are the main character.

I read every single book except for the newest one that came out and haven't really been disappointed. There are 13 books total and every single one lived up to the last. It's one heck of a journey for anyone who is interested in this type of reading material. You will thank me about sharing this with you when you have finished reading the first book.

It blows Harry Potter, Eragon, Lord of the Rings and any other Magical Fantasy book out of the water.

This series was so popular that they even made a TV show about it - which only lasted for one season, but was good enough to still make it.

I'm interested to know what your favorite book series of all time is and why?​

Goosebumps were my favorite as a kid. Not into reading much now but every now and then I get my hands on a book. The one I am currently reading is not a series but I would recommend it to anyone. Its called Mein Kampf. :)
 
Mine would have to be late Stieg Larsson's Millenium series which includes:

The Girl with the dragon tattoo
The Girl who played with fire
The Girl who kicked the hornet's nest

It's the best read. His writing style is quite unique.
Wanted to read the third book but I broke my tablet :(

You have read the Sword of Truth?

Are these books you've mentioned similar? I tried to read "The Wheel of Time", but just couldn't get into it for some reason.
 
Yes i have read it was one of the very first high fantasy epics i read and one of my favorites and yes the one's i have mentioned are the most similar here the ones i think you will like most in descending order

1. KingKiller Chronicles - Epic stuff very addictive
2. Riftwar Saga - a very long multi saga multi book epic also one of my favs
3. The Belgeriad - a classic farmboy >> hero prince story done right pretty damn good
4. NightAngel Trilogy - not typical high fantasy involves other elements still awesome
5. Farseer Trilogy - pretty good fantasy
6. Memory, Sorrow, Thorn - another high fantasy series i liked
7. Blood of the kings - another poor boys turns out be something else fantasy but also done right and has awesome witty dialogue
8. Wheel of time - a series which imo ran way past its expiration its too long too damn long i mean like 16000+ pages :\

these are a few that i remember of the top of my mind because of my love for them their are many more out their, oh and if your on goodreads add me :)
 
Favorite book series

Hello everyone,

i had read the book series by Nora Roberts that was Chesapeake bay, that is the story of four brothers, loved that series. Has anyone else here read that one??
 
Nope never read it. But been there to Chesapeake before. Actually went on this small island across from the bay once where there was nothing but horses. Was intense! lol thanks for the share :P
 
The orphan trilogy is the best. I've read ASOIAF too, it's amazing but books 4 and 5 were really lame. Hopefully the 6th one gets back to the glory of the first 3 books.

The Millennium Trilogy is good fun, I really hope they get everything sorted over the last book Larrson wrote, and it eventually gets to see the light of day.

They aren't really are series, but I've always loved the two Fear and Loathing books by Hunter S Thompson. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is such a mad-cap book, that is deceptively insightful in parts. Had a huge effect on me when i was a teenager.

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 has that same intense, surreal and funny energy, but is also a fantastically well written piece of political reportage.
