Well, it was a trilogy in 5 (6?) parts Larry Send a noteboard - 18/02/2013 07:03:10 PM
1. Must be composed of at least 4 books, and a trilogy plus an anthology or lone prequel should be avoided.

2. Is not the novelization of some movie, TV series, or video game like Star Trek or Star Wars or Star Craft, or for that matter a RPG like Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Warhammer 40k, etc.

The List So Far

Adams, Douglas - Hitchhiker's Guide


Doesn't this violate rule number 2?

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 1814 Views
I am but figured a list would save time and multi-task Isaac - 16/02/2013 09:58:18 PM 1691 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 1728 Views
Yes, there is that, I have always felt the site could use a recommendation list Isaac - 17/02/2013 02:45:43 AM 1668 Views

Barsoom is my overrall favorite book series, not just on SF, but in general. Bergioyn - 17/02/2013 10:47:52 AM 1566 Views
Bakker's SECOND APOCALYPSE novels. Two trilogies, same world, same characters. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/02/2013 10:48:31 AM 739 Views
For myself, there seems to be a lot of shit on that list Larry - 17/02/2013 08:02:37 PM 1760 Views
Oh come on. I know you like Bakker's work. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/02/2013 09:36:39 AM 738 Views

Was that a snarky way of saying you don't like Adams or something? Tom - 18/02/2013 06:30:49 PM 1663 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 724 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 1422 Views

2001 violates rule number 2. *NM* heartbreak - 19/02/2013 12:29:26 PM 815 Views
The movie and the book were written at the same time *NM* random thoughts - 19/02/2013 05:49:44 PM 717 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 744 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 1463 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 1613 Views
??? It is on there Isaac - 19/02/2013 07:39:36 PM 1532 Views

He is a wordy writer and the main character is not very likeable random thoughts - 23/02/2013 11:15:33 PM 1843 Views
I finished that one just now, too. It was... interesting. *NM* Legolas - 21/02/2013 06:20:18 PM 705 Views
