Any Peirs Anthony Book.
First Thing The Series Are Long. BUT They Dont Continue The Same Thing For The Entire Series.
Kinda like and episode of Doctor Who (Not one with parts) They Have A Story And Then Its Over After The Episode.
My Recommendation is Incarnations Of Immortality.
Book 1 On A Pale Horse. Which Is About Death. Thanatos
Book 2 Bearing An Hourglass. Which Is About Time. Chronos
Book 3 With A Tangled Skein. Which Is About Fate. Atropos, Lachesis, and Clotho
Book 4 Wielding A Red Sword. Which Is About War. Mars
Book 5 Being A Green Mother. Which is About Nature. Gaea
Book 6. For The Love Of Evil. Which Is About Evil. Satan
Book 7. And Eternity. Which is About Good. God
Book 8. Under A Velvet Cloak. Which Is About Night. Nox
DONT READ UNLESS IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BOOK RUINED.
[spoiler] All of the characters are picked by fate to presume the roles of The Incarnations Of Immortality
as you may have noticed the names next to the books (Except Nox, God, And Satan) are greek or latin.
meaning that that is not the actually name of the person. So they are regular people who then become chosen.
How They Get Their offices
Death. Death Takes The Souls of People Half Good And Half Evil to be examined to go to Hell or Heaven. So when the predecessor comes to take the soul the person can kill them. Meaning They Then Become Death.
Time.
Time lives backwards so when he is born (or at his conception it is never clearly stated) he drops the Hourglass and someone must take it or there is no time.
Fate.
Fate chooses the next person for office when one person gets boored of being fate. So they grab the new persons hand. and then become the other person.
War.
War dies when all war on earth is over. So when new war starts up fate comes to a person and they become war.
Nature.
Nature controlls all things living. But can choose to vacate the office at any time.
Evil
Evil dies when someone kills them by using a greater evil than the person is.
Good
Good has to be voted off of the Incarnation by a unanimous agreement by all of the incarnation. Same with a new person becoming good.
Night.
I have not yet read this book so idk.  [/spoiler]

Piers Anthony also has the Xanth books. 38 of them All follow a different story.

Some books that I really like:


Wintercraft Series by Jenna Burtenshaw
- Wintercraft
- Wintercraft: Blackwatch
- Wintercraft: Legacy

This may sound like a cheesey fail from some author, but to my taste of dark magic - it's the best book I've ever read.

Percy Jackson was also a good read to.

okay.. my book list *ahem*

the books by robin hobb
terry goodkind is a amazing writer too
trudi canavan has some amazign wrok
alexandre dumas, kind of hard to get through but books like the three musketeers and the count of monte christo are worth it
john steinbeck, of mice and men and the acts of king arthur and his noble knights are worth it.
Jean m. auel. specially her first book
a book like jungle book, dracula and watership down are always good too. while we're on dracula, frankenstein is an amazing book too. jules verne with around the world in 80 days is good too

and well, whatever is mentioned before is mostly worth it too. i left em out cause they were names so much already.

Dumas :3

DJ knows his shit

Obviously lol.

DJ is a well educated fellow. Born to parents of Russian origin, who read Tolstoy, Dumas, Frankenstein and other works in the 6th grade. Either for fun or for class.

Plus, how can you NOT read the Three Musketeers, man?! Though I have yet to read War and Peace because the size of the book intimidates me. I can knock out 400 page books in a day or two but that thing just scares me.

That's a really good book.

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Freakonomics by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt
They really show you the hidden side of the modern world O.o
Otherwise all other recommended books have been recommended.

Edit:If you like mystery, check out Clive Cussler.  He has too many books to name sooo...

looking glass wars trilogy by frank beddor
harry bosch series by michael connelly
C.H.E.R.U.B. series by robert muchamore
pendragon series by d.j MacHale

read Looking for Alaska by John Green
or any other book by him.

i second this

Didn't he say books without a lot of sequels? And then EXACTLY specify "like harry potter or LoTR"?
And then I see that half the first page of this topic is people suggesting Harry Potter and other series. :I

Much disappoint.

IKR
but I don't wanna sound picky.

1984 by George Orwell is a great book.
