I have to say, the blog is not mine, I'm just recommending it.

There are some great recommendations here. Thank you for the link!
What I really do not like about this list is that it mixes finished and unfinished stuff.
Some of the series are of the "One big story that is published in a series of unfinished volumes"-type (e.g. Lord of the Rings) instead of "a series a novels, each with a proper ending, set in the same universe (and optionally part of a longer story) (e.g. The Long Price Quartet).
This especially applies to A Game of Thrones. It sure is a great series
as far as it goes, however if the Author does not manage to wind up things and get to something like a proper ending (instead of just widening the universe) it will end up under failed endeavours on my list. ;-)
