    Please do, I have 28 of Terry Practchett's books (still lacking quite a bit) you cannot go wrong with Discworld and if you really get into them you will have a better understanding of my avatar.

    For SciFi. I'd have to go with the Icerigger Trilogy.
    About the only good series that I've liked of Alan Dean Foster's. :p

    Another good book is the Sphere by Michael Crichton.

    Foundation isn't a trilogy. Hasn't been for a long time. The four canonical books are Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation and Foundation's Edge. I read the prequel, Forward the Foundation, recently. Iirc there are two more, "Prelude to Foundation" and "Foundation and Earth".

    My mistake. I heard about the series, and found an older book with the first three in it.

    Makes sense, any book published before 1985 won't include Edge iirc.

    I found 'shadowmancer' by G.P. Taylor pretty good, despite the christian religious themes in it. its a bit fantasy set in the real world, and I happen to know the area its set in very well. They were making a movie adaption of it some years ago because I watched the filming while on holiday in the area, but I don't know what happened because it seems the movie never got completed.

    a couple of other good fantasy series to read are the edge chronicles by paul stewart and chris riddle, and the 'old kingdom' series by garth nix.

    I read a great novel about a serial killer once but... it is in Dutch.
    If you can read Dutch, the books of "Aspe" are quite nice.
