What is your all-time favorite book series?

mine would have to be "a series of unfortunate events". great books. sucks that it's over tho. don't judge it by the movie either. the movie SUCKED and was nothing like the books.

second favorite - what else but harry potter?

EDIT - i'm currently reading a really great series called the ember series. i'm on the 3rd one (The Prophet of Yonwood). There's 4 in the series (Well, it'll be 4 in august). They are making a movie on the first one (The City of Ember) and it looks really good!

here's a link to the trailer:

It's a tie between the Shadow series by Orson Scott Card and The Gunslinger series by Stephen King

Narnia was pretty good. ^_^Genetic_Code

I haven't seen it although it looks really good.

The books aren't bad. They're actually quite childish but they have this irresistible charm.

I don't read a whole lot of books because of course they are evil

But my favorite series is definitly the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.. the hobbit was good as well!

Either a song of ice and fire series or the dark tower series. Film-Guy

When I was a kid, I LOVED the goosebumps series, but now I would probably have to say the halo books. FatMan1945

me too! (when i was younger) i used to love the goosebumps books that let you choose the plot. like the story would be scattered all over the book and when the would have to make a decision it would be like

"Go down the hallway? Page 84!"

"Or open the door?" Page 116!"

it made for a really short book, but i read it like over and over again and it would be different every time.

Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony.MissRiotmaker

Great series my fav was eith For Love of Evil or On a Pale Horse...

Now I'm going to go reread them again..

Harry Potter, of course. :D I grew up with them, how can I not pick that as my favorite? :D The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin is also amazing.

You guys are talking about Goosebumps... does anyone remember Animorphs? Those were my FAVORITE as a kid! :P

Animorphs ruled, I read all of them

:D I did too! In fact, I still have them all in my closet... I'm saving them for my kids because I honestly think they were that good. Once you get past the whole alien thing, the books are really very smartly written and deal with pretty mature themes.

ooo. lol. my brothers read the books. i remember they had the coolest covers tho. the cover was holographic and they would change from people to animals when you moved it. one of em even had the guy from x-men that plays iceman. i think he turned into a cheetah or a tiger or something, right?

I guess I would have to go with the Conan series by Robert E. Howard if I had to go with just one. After that there's...

A Wild Sheep Chase & Dance, Dance, Dance by Haruki Murakami

The Amber series by Roger Zelazny

Soldier of the Mist series by Gene Wolfe

Elric series by Michael Moorc@ck

The guy that played Iceman's name is Shawn Ashmore. He played Jake in the TV show, but I don't think he was ever on one of the book covers. Shawn Ashmore was my first celebrity crush. :P

Jack Whyte's Camulod Chronicles

This is a very good series it retells the story of Arthur Pendragon...

I'm guessing you don't read much...you should try the Dark Tower series. GREATEST. BOOKS. EVER.

Warning: The last 4 books are 500-800 pages each, so have patience :P
