What is your favorite book series outside of comics. For me it would have to be the Discworld series. The series has around 40 books that are all equal quality, and the quality is high.

Discworld is really high up there. I also really like Lord of the Rings and the Faction Paradox series.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians.

I'll say though, The Heroes of Olympus wasn't as good as the first, but I still enjoyed it.

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Never expected so much depth for a book series intended for kids ages 12 below. Lord of the Rings (duh), and Eragon.

The Drizzt saga by R.A. Salvatore. Starting with The Crystal Shard, all the way to his current Companion's Codex saga. Great characters, great stories, great action, and great intrigue. Drizzt is one of the best protagonists ever written I dare say.

RA Salvatore's The Cleric Quintet is really good too.

The Warhammer 40k books. Especially the Salamanders books written by Nick Kyme and the Space Wolves novels. Really just about anything in 40k is good, at least that I've read so far.

Yes. It's been great so far. Snicket just knows how to keep the mysteries and laughs coming.

Dark Tower series is probably my favorite, but it has comic books now, so not sure if this counts.

A guilty pleasure of mine is the Galctic Football League. It's so stupid, but so awesome. I say it's stupid, but just because the concept sounds so corny, but it's actually very well written, and there is some great universe building being done and character development.

Anyways, the books revolves around a football league in a sci fi universe. Humans have become Giants and superhuman by today's standards, and there are plenty of aliens that are gigantic and tailor made for certain positions. Like gigantic beetle like creatures are perfect linebacker because of their strength and mobility, grasshopper like aliens have ridiculous speed and can jump like 40 feet in the air, so they make amazing wide receivers and defensive backs.

So the football action is a blast to read, but there is also an underground crime element, as all the teams are owned by corrupt gangsters, who use the league as a method of smuggling and covering up their crimes.

In the middle of all of this is a quarterback named Quentin Barnes, who grew up on a planet that taught him that aliens were evil, and he had to overcome these differences to play in the big time with multiple species.

Again, it sounds soooo stupid, but you really need to give it a chance.

Yeah, and it gives us an insight to his early days at VFD. I've always wanted to know what happened before and after the schism of the organization.
