Let’s do the ten best scifi/fantasy series (can’t go with 5)

[D_B]

You all have already mentioned some of my favorite reads
... a lot of the foremost authors in SF got their start, in one of my favorite magazines ... Analog

 

[Mike Veitch]

David Wingrove's Chung Kuo series.

now that is one i forgot about and never finished....

Must find it if i ever get back to civilization.

No bookstores here.. So my reading is strictly whatever guests leave behind which doesn't happen often enough..

Harry Harrison, The Stainless Steel Rat is about the only other series I can think of....

Oh, there's also Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon the Deep -- although I didn't like A Deepness in the Sky as much...

 

[BoomhowerSpeaks]

Steven Erikson: Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, it's a relatively new series but he's already pretty much done with it, it's a ten book cycle and it's amazing, it's what Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind would be if they didn't pad their books so much.

Glen Cook: Chronicles of the Black Company

and as mentioned before Terry Pratchett's Discworld, funny but still a scathing look at the aspects of modern society.

Now Vinge is new to me . . . Have to look those up.

Piers Anthony's best ones, for my money, are the Orn, Omnivore, Ox trilogy.

Now Vinge is new to me . . . Have to look those up.

A Fire Upon the Deep is great, it is one of my favorites now, highly recommended.
