Series' I have previously read:

Ender's Game
Ender's Shadow
Alvin Maker
Lord of the Rings
Dune
Harry Potter
Twilight
Shadows of the Apt
Kingmaker/KingBreaker

I am looking primarily for any sci-fi/fantasy series' that you have read. Also, I have read most of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell books and am wondering about the correct order of the books.

The order in which I have read:
-Splinter Cell
-Operation Barracuda
-Checkmate
-Fallout
-Conviction
-Endgame

There seems to be certain plot missing between Fallout and Conviction. Is there another book, or has the author (David Michaels) done this on purpose?

Thanks.

Every book on that page starting with the riftwar saga
Though I have not read all the books i have not found one ive disliked. the Conclave of Shadows are a great set of books and my favorite of them next to the riftwar saga that gives the back story and is also very good.

Oh

anything R.A. Salvatore
Such as the Saga of the First King series
and the various Forgotten realms books, including all the ones featuring Drizzt & Friends



between those, and the last 5 series' i recommended in my last post, you should easily have 80-100 books :-P

i think SoT has 13 books, starting with the prequel Debt of Bones
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%5Fsword%5Fof%5Ftruth

Inheritance has 3 current with 1 more slated
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance%5Fcycle

Deverry cycle has 15 books, starting with Daggerspell
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deverry%5Fcycle

Shannara has 22? with 3 more on the way, starting (technically) with the Word/void trilogy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannara
(Terry Brooks also has a series called the Magical Kingdom of Landover)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Kingdom_%28Terry_Brooks%29

R.A.Salvatore has at least 50+ books and a several other short stories
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.%5FA.%5FSalvatore


Ken Follett has a ton of great books too, although his are pretty much just fiction, not so much Sci-Fi

Have you read any other Orson Scott Card series? Worthington Saga was really good.
