Re: Best SF/F series Dar Valon Send a noteboard - 17/02/2013 07:12:29 AM
Fishing around for some new reading material, and remember that a RAFO Top ## list had been discussed, figured I'd do two for one.
1. Must be composed of at least 4 books, and a trilogy plus an anthology or lone prequel should be avoided.

An old favorite:
Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series. Not sure exactly how many there are in the series, but there are at least 20.

So you're looking for series that are not yet on your list, yes? I'm a little confused. Legolas - 16/02/2013 09:05:53 PM 1228 Views
I am but figured a list would save time and multi-task Isaac - 16/02/2013 09:58:18 PM 1127 Views
Fair point, could be useful to point to whenever people ask the same question of what to read next. Legolas - 16/02/2013 11:05:06 PM 1177 Views
Yes, there is that, I have always felt the site could use a recommendation list Isaac - 17/02/2013 02:45:43 AM 1117 Views

Barsoom is my overrall favorite book series, not just on SF, but in general. Bergioyn - 17/02/2013 10:47:52 AM 954 Views
Bakker's SECOND APOCALYPSE novels. Two trilogies, same world, same characters. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/02/2013 10:48:31 AM 462 Views
For myself, there seems to be a lot of shit on that list Larry - 17/02/2013 08:02:37 PM 1207 Views
Oh come on. I know you like Bakker's work. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/02/2013 09:36:39 AM 450 Views
And Erikson's. Larry - 18/02/2013 02:32:12 PM 1020 Views

Was that a snarky way of saying you don't like Adams or something? Tom - 18/02/2013 06:30:49 PM 1122 Views
I think it was a not so snarky way of saying Hitchhiker's Guide started as a radio show. *NM* Legolas - 18/02/2013 06:41:44 PM 443 Views
Not a TV series, movie series or video game...and not really even based on a radio show. Tom - 19/02/2013 06:56:15 PM 881 Views
Well, it was a trilogy in 5 (6?) parts Larry - 18/02/2013 07:03:10 PM 1095 Views
I actually had to look that one up Isaac - 18/02/2013 07:13:44 PM 1056 Views

2001 violates rule number 2. *NM* heartbreak - 19/02/2013 12:29:26 PM 453 Views
The movie and the book were written at the same time *NM* random thoughts - 19/02/2013 05:49:44 PM 442 Views
Clarke wrote both, so is the book really anything more than a novelization of the screenplay? *NM* heartbreak - 19/02/2013 06:18:31 PM 456 Views
he co-wrote the screen play and both were based on a short story so yes was more than that random thoughts - 23/02/2013 11:19:31 PM 902 Views
I find it strange that you list the Donaldson's Gap series but not the Thomas Covenant series random thoughts - 19/02/2013 05:52:58 PM 1022 Views
??? It is on there Isaac - 19/02/2013 07:39:36 PM 994 Views

He is a wordy writer and the main character is not very likeable random thoughts - 23/02/2013 11:15:33 PM 1291 Views
I finished that one just now, too. It was... interesting. *NM* Legolas - 21/02/2013 06:20:18 PM 436 Views
