January 26, 201511 yr ]"Hardy Boys"[/b] - Stratemeyer "Lord of the Rings" - Tolkien "Iliad & Odyssey" - Homer , against my will in high school ( seemed like a book series at the time )...:lol2: "The Frontiersman" - Allan Eckert Numerous Dee Brown books on American growth into the West. The Hardy Boys for years. The Harry Potter books. Read the Dan Brown books as they came out..but couldn't classify them as a series. Read Grisham books as they came out for a few years, but same as above.
January 26, 201511 yr For the past several years I have only read what my boys are reading. Mostly "mind candy" but I love being able to have book discussions with my boys. Harry Potter series Hunger Game series Divergent series Rick Riordan books For myself, I read 6 or 7 Tess Garrison books and two books of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. Both series were kind of rough. I couldn't finish The Girl series just a little too much. I really like John Grisham but I haven't read one of his in about 2 years. I wish I could say I read more serious, thought provoking novels but I don't. lol Since I had to stop reading to pass classes nearly 40 years ago, my reading has been pretty daggone light. No crime in that!
January 26, 201511 yr "Little House on the Prarie" books by Laura Ingalls Wilder an "Little Women" books by Louisa May Alcott Most of the Nancy Drew books, too. Ah - loved these! I would also add the Anne of Green Gables series, which remain my all time favorite from my youth. Even today there are certain people I immediately identify as "kindred spirits".

Very underrated.Thomas Covenant was like pulling teeth to get through Lord Fouls Bane. I'm still proud I was able to finish that one out. A. Only read the first 4 or 5 books. 2. Yes - very underrated. D. Read all 6 books multiple times. Maybe my second-favorite series behind LOTR. Of all those on the list, The Gormenghast books were the most ponderous. Not recommended by me.
January 26, 201511 yr Love that list. I don't know if I've read everything LeGuin has ever written, but it's not for lack of trying. The Left Hand of Darkness = classic.
