I wanna start reading a book series. Anyone has good suggestions which one to read?

I'm inclined to agree about the self-improvement books. But it doesn't mean they're not helpful. Some are really bad.
But at least those who are mediocre, can be very helpful. I think they can work for some people to some extent.

History is great! I also recommend OP the historical fiction genre. It improve historical knowledge and entertain as well.

 

Lord of the Rings.

 

Around your age I also read the Chronicals of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, but I wouldn't read them if you're easily triggered or don't have a stomach for graphic material, but it is a good series.

 

Did you choose anything to read?
Let us know if you start reading.

The Wheel of Time seems to be one of the longest and most dense novels ever. I'm hearing there are like tens of thousands of characters and hundreds of storylines throughout the series! Almost unimaginable for me. The author passed away before finishing the series and they hired another writer to finish it. I think it's a big challenge to read it.

What's the series about anyway?

 

Reading Dune rn. It is mind-blowing, but I recommend having a good foundation in sci-fi before picking up the book.

 

Unfortunately, I saw the movie first (now a lot of my imagination is tainted by the actors in the movie. Which is both bad and good)

I never watched the David Lynch version, but Villeneuve never disappoints and the movie is great, but as with every book... It isn't dune.

I actually bought the last copy at my bookstore the day after I watched it and by god is my mind being blown every chapter. This book is so different from other sci-fis... I can't describe it in any other words. I absolutely love the book so far.

Know this... There's a reason why ppl say the book is impossible to make into a movie. There's just so much.

 

Never a good idea. I tried dune a while back before the movie came but the lazy world building did me in, maybe i will retry it later.

 

I suggest the dune series, with this in mind, i suggest afterwards you view the new 2021 theatrical release of the novel adaptation. The actors show great potential in playing the characters ,I on the other hand, have not watched it yet.

 

Shai'tan is the Islamic word for devils / the Satan.

My favourite world is something close to the medieval Europe. Is Wheel of Time like that?

Also, I assume you're a native English speaker. It's much more difficult for me to read English books. So, it makes it even harder. (I usually read a book whilst listening to the audiobook)

 

Sherlock Holmes

 

If you don't mind reading light novel try overlord, basically a guy who start kind of an asshole and slowly turn into absolute evil i believe dune is somewhat similar to that.
oh and also he is the most powerful being in the world.

 

Sword Art Online is another great light novel

 

Also recommend dune books, and Alastair Reynolds revelation space series and anything by Ian banks. But do you need a series? There are more great single books than great series - the road, catch 22, 1984, train spotting, the watchmen, fight club, stone junction etc
