Heck, read all of them! They are great. But my advice is to start with guards guards and then read this.

Everything from him!

Such a rich book. Truly for the real lovers of literature.

We still wait for the final part of this story, definitely recommend reading it, though it isn't finished just yet. :)

This series is the Chinese Democracy of books

Finished

"The Wizard of Earthsea" was the first book I ever bought. The quartet is wonderful and ends in a very satisfying way.

So, so beautifully written and the characters are the absolute best. Robin Hobb broke my heart and then fixed it but it will never be the same. I went through my worst book hangover after this series, and then read everything she wrote, and still couldn't get Fitz out of my head. He lives rent free in my head now, and sometimes the little voice in my head is his. The Fool too. The ending is surprisingly good and fair, and not a magical fix it, thank the gods. Just really fair to a bunch of old, beaten up characters who deserve peace.

I have tried reading this book three times and have still not been successful in getting very far.. I recently downloaded the Audible version and am hoping to be more successful with a change in learning style.

Finished of course.

Anything Sanderson!!! He is my all-time favorite!

The whole Narnia series is great. Start in the order of publish date.

This is the best of the best.

I just didn't get on with the wandering story and the dystopian nature of the world. Without a back story, it felt thin. I'm not one for noir anyway but if that's your taste, go for it.

Quite a hoot. A lot of recursive humour.

An incredible series. You constantly wonder if a man can ever truly undo an evil act.

The tone in this book is far more avuncular and jocular than the noble seriousness of "The Lord of the Rings". It grates a bit with modern readers but was normal for book written for children back then. You can see Tolkien evolving his scope, his tone and his material as the book goes on.

Herbert's world has a real logic to its weirdness, which underpins all the plotlines and characters - after AI machines tried to overthrow the hegemony of humans, they were largely exterminated in the Butlerian Jihad. Thus, human beings who wanted the abilities and services previously afforded by machines, were forced to modify themselves and animals. Thus the importance of spice. Apart from that Herbert tries to be a bit more portentous than the story deserves but he isn't the only author to do that!

Must read. Read everything Sir Terry wrote - you will be better for it!

Cried at the end.

This is a fantastic book!

Every child and adult too, should read these. So many experts have read so many things into these books that it's a bit like an old fashioned Rorschach test. Dodgson was a queer bird indeed.

I forgot this was by him. I had to read it for uni (teaching degree) and loved it. So much that even though I only borrowed it for the class I went out and bought a copy afterwards.

This is one of my favorite books of the Chronicles of Narnia Especially when they get to the end of the world.

Finished

This is going back. Loved it and wouldn't mind reading it again. I remember all sorts of chicanery with words and punctuation. Very stimulating to the hyperlexic child I was.

I loved this and always wanted sequels.

Adored these books in my teens. Another writer who just couldn't let her world go. The earlier ones are the best.

Watch tv show. Is book better?

My husband quotes this to me often.

I’ve always found this story confusingly odd

Finished

Vampires. Meh.

Found them a bit too noir for me. But an interesting take on magic and world hopping.

Excellent series.

EULALIAAAAAAAA!

Another beloved book from my childhood. Didn't like the Disney version - too twee.

These first ones were good reading but I do wonder if he has stretched the stories too long. How many times can one world be invaded by yet another magical evil? Starts to get all same same.

This needs to be higher up.

I'll warn you in advance - it's not a novel but more like a history book. Parts are dull, parts are fabulous - but Tolkien doesn't develop them. I always felt these were his working notes for books he never wrote.

Finished. Not so good.

This is better than her earlier book. Circe is an interesting woman.

Nope. First three were great, then it losts it's appeal.

Finished

I love this series. I find it ironic that it was banned for making the Church a villain and talking about them silencing controversial opinions.

Harry Dresden is THE BEST!

When the dark comes rising, six shall turn it back: three from the circle, three from the track....

Gosh, thought her long forgotten. These were fun books to read as a child.
