What series SF books are your favorites?

Uhh, that would be the Dragonriders of Pern and that would be Anne McCaffrey




Yes, Douglas Adams has been a favorite of mine as well.

I'm a highly omnivorous reader of SF myself. I really can't pick an sort of favorite series really. I sorta lean towards Genres myself. Typically Hard SF and believe it or not the old SF from the 30s - 40s. Those old stories while lacking in Science Accuracy however have a sorta can-do attitude that I love. First contact stories are a favorite of mine as well.

well im reading frederick pohl right now. but here are my favorites from memory:


Icarus Hunt by: Timothy Zahn

*Hunter's Run by: several authors whom i forgot the name

*Manifold Space by: stephen baxter

**Final Blackout by: L. Ron Hubbard

Times Eye by: arthur c clarke i think

A Very Strange Trip by: several authors again


"*" means extra good books

these are just a few from the top of my head, i have a ton of other favorites as well

The Halo series. Geah!
No but seriously, I usually read fantasy novels and series unless you count I Am Legend as science fiction.
