What is YOUR Favorite fictional "series" of books?

[KD4MOJ]

I've enjoyed all of the "Dirk Pitt" novels by Clive Cussler.

 yep me as well, ole Cussler.  Also love the W.E.B. Griffin series of books. Got most of them on my Kindle2 (which rocks!).

Lesse... also Dean Koontz (read all of his old stuff.. Phantom, Lightning etc), Robin Cook, Robert Ludlum (especially like all the Bourne books), John Saul, Michael Connelly, Patricia Cornwell. I could go on and on... but I'll spare you all.

I have loved everything by C.S. Lewis.  And all the Clive Cussler books...

..I think I'm going to read through some of C.S. Lewis' sci fi books again (it's been a while)...out of the silent planet, perlandria, that hideous strenght.  my recolection is that they are nice, and a bit "naive" as far as modern sci fi goes.

I'm a sci fi nut.  Every year I read all the nominees for the Hugo SF award.  This years nominees are:

Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis (Ballantine Spectra)
Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold (Baen)
The Dervish House by Ian McDonald (Gollancz; Pyr)
Feed by Mira Grant (Orbit)
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin (Orbit)

Frame, have you done the whole Vorkosigan series?  just finished it.  started on the Sharing Knife series by same.  really enjoy her writing. her writing reminds me a bit of Robert Jordans stuff.

Every year I read all the nominees for the Hugo SF award.

They never gave out a Hugo for 1954....until 2004.  Our band the Lothars (which is significant because we have had up to 4 theremin players at times, and Ramona and I met when I joined the band) played at Noreascon 2004 for the Retro Hugo Awards Ceremony.  We dressed up like 1954 nerds (had to order pocket protectors from some pocket protector website), and played our weird music
...I'm on the left, Ramona on the right.


...and if you look through the archive there, you will find a picture of me with a full "Side Show Bob" set of dreadlocks (I actually walked around like that)!  I've got them saved and hidden so Ramona can't make a voodoo doll!

I had never heard of "filking" before this event (it's not dirty...but it should be).

I enjoy historical fiction.  One of my favorites is the Shaara Civil War trilogy:
