I think it will depend on how "that unfinished series" wraps up Tom Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 04:52:57 PM
There are several series that I could be referring to, obviously.

My list is short. I don't read a lot of fantasy or sci-fi beyond some of the greats. However, I will definitely recommend:

1. The Chronicles of Narnia
2. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice's Adventures Through the Looking-Glass
3. The Chronicles of Prydain
4. The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings
5. The Harry Potter series
6. Ender's Game (by itself, not as part of the series)
7. Le Morte d'Arthur
8. Beowulf
9. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (only those by Adams)
10. H.P. Lovecraft's stories
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
