Other great ones...
Harry Potter (yes, I really enjoyed it)
Lord of the Rings (Tolkien of course)
Voyage of Jerle Shannara (Brooks)
Sword of Truth (Goodkind, some later ones not as good as the first 4)

The Belgariad is one of my all time favorites. Researching the series' availability in Kindle format once again leads to frustration with the series' publisher (Del Rey) who have released the second volume but not the first!
What possesses these publishers to do this? Time and again publishers omit the first book or books in a series when releasing the digital versions. I can understand, somewhat, this happening when a new title in a series has just been released and they want to capture digital sales to those who have read the previous titles in paper books but this series has been long in print.
Wouldn't you suppose that the publisher would realize that those starting the series now, who most probably are new to Eddings and the Belgariad and have never read the paper book versions might want to start at the beginning? Duh!
This, of course, is not Amazon's fault. Perhaps the ability to click on the Kindle request "button" will have an impact on this problem.
