Re: Lloyd Alexander, Chronicles of Prydain - 5 major books and one anthology. Isaac Send a noteboard - 17/02/2013 04:55:33 PM
And doesn't Tolkien break rule 1?


Well I put LotR on there, I suppose I should have said 'Middle Earth', Hobbit isn't really a prequel since it was written first and you've got Simillarion and Children of Hurin plus lost tales, it seems a legit inclusion under Rule 1, but probably more importantly if it wasn't on there I'd probably get a bunch of posts including it as an assumed 'oh duh'. But I confess the guideline is pretty arbitrary, especially since a lot of those series have combined word counts parallel to single books out of lot of the modern door-stoppers.

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 1330 Views
I am but figured a list would save time and multi-task Isaac - 16/02/2013 09:58:18 PM 1233 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 1272 Views
Yes, there is that, I have always felt the site could use a recommendation list Isaac - 17/02/2013 02:45:43 AM 1204 Views

Barsoom is my overrall favorite book series, not just on SF, but in general. Bergioyn - 17/02/2013 10:47:52 AM 1068 Views
Bakker's SECOND APOCALYPSE novels. Two trilogies, same world, same characters. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/02/2013 10:48:31 AM 510 Views
For myself, there seems to be a lot of shit on that list Larry - 17/02/2013 08:02:37 PM 1315 Views
Oh come on. I know you like Bakker's work. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/02/2013 09:36:39 AM 506 Views

Was that a snarky way of saying you don't like Adams or something? Tom - 18/02/2013 06:30:49 PM 1221 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 489 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 988 Views
Well, it was a trilogy in 5 (6?) parts Larry - 18/02/2013 07:03:10 PM 1205 Views
I actually had to look that one up Isaac - 18/02/2013 07:13:44 PM 1146 Views

2001 violates rule number 2. *NM* heartbreak - 19/02/2013 12:29:26 PM 502 Views
The movie and the book were written at the same time *NM* random thoughts - 19/02/2013 05:49:44 PM 500 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 512 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 1012 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 1137 Views
??? It is on there Isaac - 19/02/2013 07:39:36 PM 1093 Views

He is a wordy writer and the main character is not very likeable random thoughts - 23/02/2013 11:15:33 PM 1390 Views
I finished that one just now, too. It was... interesting. *NM* Legolas - 21/02/2013 06:20:18 PM 482 Views
