For myself, there seems to be a lot of shit on that list Larry Send a noteboard - 17/02/2013 08:02:37 PM
I seem to be the exact opposite from you in that I prefer stand-alones or barely connected volumes of work. Seems to me, having read several of the series listed above, that quality becomes a concern several volumes in (and several others never had any "quality" writing to begin with in the first place).

Other than that, nothing really to add, as it seems like it's been weeks since I posted at this site :P

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 1659 Views
I am but figured a list would save time and multi-task Isaac - 16/02/2013 09:58:18 PM 1532 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 1578 Views
Yes, there is that, I have always felt the site could use a recommendation list Isaac - 17/02/2013 02:45:43 AM 1497 Views

Bakker's SECOND APOCALYPSE novels. Two trilogies, same world, same characters. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/02/2013 10:48:31 AM 662 Views
For myself, there seems to be a lot of shit on that list Larry - 17/02/2013 08:02:37 PM 1604 Views

Was that a snarky way of saying you don't like Adams or something? Tom - 18/02/2013 06:30:49 PM 1521 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 647 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 1271 Views
Well, it was a trilogy in 5 (6?) parts Larry - 18/02/2013 07:03:10 PM 1489 Views

2001 violates rule number 2. *NM* heartbreak - 19/02/2013 12:29:26 PM 736 Views
The movie and the book were written at the same time *NM* random thoughts - 19/02/2013 05:49:44 PM 639 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 665 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 1314 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 1456 Views

He is a wordy writer and the main character is not very likeable random thoughts - 23/02/2013 11:15:33 PM 1697 Views
