I feel the same way about the Thomas Covenant books. They got progressively worse after the 1st 3. I do have hope for the lengthening Culture series, since I continue to read good things about them as new ones come out. <br /><br />I tend to completely ignore sequels not written by the author of the original series.<br /><br />I'm not sure Dick wrote any sf series.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-7269691528474512882010-04-25T04:58:34.444-07:002010-04-25T04:58:34.444-07:00The problem with series are that if they run too l...The problem with series are that if they run too long you lose part of the story. When I read Foundation it was just a trilogy. As each subsequent book came out I would feel like I needed to go back and start over. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the trilogy but three was enough.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122361539939744451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-8523474516690059462010-04-25T00:47:46.887-07:002010-04-25T00:47:46.887-07:00Good list, only complaint: no Philip K Dick in a g...Good list, only complaint: no Philip K Dick in a greatest SF books post?Nikhilhttp://nkhil.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-67909803164874491422010-04-24T19:44:57.048-07:002010-04-24T19:44:57.048-07:00Oh, I couldn't begin to pick.

I'm reading the Culture series now (off and on), so that series interests me most at this point.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-77643142447410021912010-04-24T19:29:35.010-07:002010-04-24T19:29:35.010-07:00So which one do you think is the best?So which one do you think is the best?Anastasia Beaverhausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398409185234749091noreply@blogger.com
