“It's nectar from the Gods…” “ It's not about the story, the writing, the cultural context or the viewpoint… It's so beyond the words. For me, it's about the energy of possibility of a better way of life that resonates at my soul level… It is confirming, encouraging, alive and vibrant. If you believe that life can be magical and amazing, gobble it up. It's nectar from the Gods. May you know joy!”

Dune is supposed to be OUTSTANDING. I've started book 1 but 850 pages is a lot to take in!
My uncle swears by the Legend of Drizt series by RA Salvatore
dune is really good, funny i am actually rereading the drizt series right now, it was better when i was a freshman in highschool, it is good just a little more youth oriented then i prefer now.
check out malazn book of the fallen, really good.
wheel of time is good but as said the last 4 books are a waste and disappointing from what they should have been imo.
a song of ice and fire is good but i think we are going to get the wheel of time treatment now that it is a show and not a book series.

Mistborn The gentleman Bastards Wheel of Time Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Stormlight Archives The Farseer Trilogy The Fitz and The Fool trilogy Vlad Taltos series The Khaavren Romances
i enjoy them all. Thomas Covenant and Khaavren are both pretty heavy reading though. lots of looking up 10 dollar words in a dictionary

Anything by Ursula LeGuin is good
the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss are great, tho some more traditionalists might not like them as much as they are light on plot and violence but heavy on world/character type stuff. I love em though

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good multi-book series?

Yeah, these books really are great, especially the first two. But the second two are awesome as well.
I should probably re read them, though... my memory of those times is not so great lol

Also, i would recommend the Star Wars books, especially the ones inbetween the movies. My friend is reading them and is enjoying them a lot. Theres even a female main character in one, Lukes wife. Pretty awesome.

The Winter King series by Bernard Cornwell. A violent and I thought very realistic look at the Arthur myth.

The Dresden Files or The Codex Alera by Jim Butcher The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe Malazan Book of the Fallen by Stephen Erikson Gentlemen Bastards series by Scott Lynch
All top tier fantasy series. They easily blow stuff like The Wheel of Time or The Kingkiller Chronicles out of the water .
-------------------- "I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."
