I love the world and magic of Wheel of Time. It had it's downs but the ups really made up for it. After that the Dark Tower is catching up quickly, I'm on book 3 right now and Eddy Dean just broke the fourth wall for the first time. I was quite giddy.

I always found books 7-9 of WoT to just drag on. I was happy when Sanderson took over and wrapped it up although I still wish Jordan would have had enough time left on earth to finish it. I was never really able to get into the Dark Tower, always stopped after book 2. I like King but find his use of deus ex machina to be a bit overdone. The Stand was good, but the ending made me sigh a bit.

It did, no denying it but I still loved every moment of it. Especially now on my second read through. Book 3 is pretty awesome so far. He lets loose a little bit and it makes it more of a fun read.

King-Killer Chronicles, by Patrick Rothfuss. Dark Tower, by Stephen King. All of the early Raymond E. Feist books.

Off the top of my head, Harry Potter will always have a place in my heart. The second one is probably Beyonders :)

That's a strange one to me! I started hearing a whole bunch of noise about The Lies of Locke Lamora last year, and just shrugged it off since, in all honesty, it kinda sounds like some shitty romance novel. When I finally picked it up earlier this year, however... oh man was I surprised! It's certainly a ride, and a very enjoyable one at that! And the Stormlight Archive. Absolutely loved it! I'm just sad I wandered into another trap where I'll be waiting for more books in the series. XD
Last time I did that it was the Wheel of Time books, which Sanderson so very fantastically finished up; it also opened my eyes for his own books. <3

From the very limited amount of book series I've listened to, my favorite is Enderverse.
I'd suggest you get the audiobooks. It has great voice acting, and the author thinks that's the best way to experience his books.

I'd have to say The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel. If I really have to pick between the two I'd say The Dark Tower is better...I've reread that series so many times...

I looooved Clan of the Cave Bear. I really need to start the Dark Tower series, I've heard so many good things.

It's such a good series. I still have to read the last one though. I moved to Europe a couple years ago and am trying to rebuy them.
