I have never really thougth about it, but now that I do, somewhere in between (not including graphic novels, and novellas) 110-130 maybe?

A couple mentioned represent the 2 I have enjoyed the most are the Camolud Chronicles by Jack Whyte, and TS White's Once and Future King whcih is nothing less than a true classic in the genre. White really has some interesting outlooks. Regarding Bradley, I can't speak on the subsequent...

2 of the absolute masters of speculative fiction. Peake's Gormenghast possibly the greatest work in the genre IMHO. Regarding Peake: The tone, and yes the qualiy of the third novel in Gormenghast is poorer due largely to being written from Peake's notes as he was suffering gravely both...

Regarding Brown, again and "his ideas" thats just it ... none of them are his ideas, they have just been presented in a way for masses to comprehened within Brown's sophmoric prose and structure. The same information, that Brown is using to shock people in layman's terms now, were already...

The best work of specualtive fiction last year, and one of the greatest fantasy debut's ever. As I noted in my review, what fantasy is and should be at the highest levels. For my opinions, I have a detailed review HERE Please read and we can discus here:)

I agree with those who listed The Davinci Code, and in my opiniuon Dan Brown in general. It's like the idiot's coloring book edition of Focault's Pendulum. But that's just me:)

Spoke to soon!: Here

LOL!:) Now that's funny...but oh so true:(

I'm not directing my comments to the authors of the quoted paragraph but to all. Yes of course this is true, however, among the 100's perhaps 1000's of mulit book-sagas, that require you to buy them to get one whole story particularly those that surpass trilogy length how many are actually good...

Maybe if you haven't already want to try out Lois Mcmaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga.

IMHo there hasn't been a meaningful stand alone work in epic fantasy since Tolkien's Silmarillion. Gene Wolfe came close with his Wizard/Knight duology, that was suppsoed to be one book. The majority of traditional epic fantasy writers just seem incapable of writing a quality single...

Although I dont believe in the concept of the perfect book that last books that I have come out that I'd give the 9.5 rating are: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke Perdido Street Station - China Mieville Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguru Secret Life - Jeff...

Although I agree there are instances that a series with some cliffhangers is appealing however lately for the most part I have become disenchanted with many of them. Many of them are forced upon us by the publishers not the authors, a couple of recent examples, that authors wanted...

I think it depends on how what defiens a series IMHO. There are some examples of novels in a series that can be read as stand alone with no problems. A lot of authors jsut use teh same setting, and eve characters but it doesn't reqquire reading in sequence. A lot of Terry Pratchett's...

Although I like some of the series on Sell Sword's list a lot (and admittedly some not at all), the best of the I don't think transalte real well for someone who prefers Salvatore/Gemmell/Weis & Hickman. Although I consider George R.R. Martin's A Song Of Ice and Fire the best example of...

Hi Raiyfe:) Althoguh not exactly my favorites there are some works I think fans of those authors would enjoy. If your looking ot bump up the scope a few degrees but still kepp the high magic, and high fight sequences, give Steven Erikson's Malazan series out: Gardens of the Moon...

By no means am I saying that, afterall people do have different tastes. There are some (albeit much to my never ending surprise) who actually like Goodkind, he is a best selling authors (whatever that's worth). I merely replied to tell you I would recommend reading Wizard's First Rule first...

Well if you really want to read a sub-par series, I defintely recommend starting the series with it's first book, Wizard's First Rule, as it is IMHO his best book anyway.

If any are interested I just interviewed RA Salvatore Here

I just want to mention a mistake I made it's "Night of Knives", not "Knight"
