    A good sci-fi series is Otherland by Tad Williams. It is comprimised of four books, each larger than its predecessor.

    I know, but I had realised that I was blithering a bit.

    Death Gate Cycle was AWESOME!!! So was the Darksword series, and their Dragonlance bools....*is a Weis/Hickman fangirl*

    I uderstand why they might not have wanted Tom in the movies...but the whole series was so focused on the Ring, that i think a little bit of Bombadil-induced randomness would have been good.

    I found the Darksword quadrilogy far inferior to Death Gte Cycle, it didnt have that same charm...but the plot twists in it involving the power of Death and all that were hilarious

    Agreed. Death Gate Cycle was somehow more magical. I think that Joram and Saryon had an amazing character dynamic, though.

    Yes, that series is truly excellent.

    Speaking of sci-fi/fantasy series, I recommend...

    1. The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
    2. The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
    3. The Shannara series series by Terry Brooks
    4. "His Dark Materials" series by Philip Pullman
    5. The Narnia series by C.S. Lewis
    6. The Lost Years of Merlin series by T.A. Barron
    7. The Oz series by Frank L. Baum

    As you can see I like some children's series despite being an avid reader.
