LOTR is my favourite "epic" too, astra. I read it at least once a year. Shame it's not available as a legal eBook .

I hope by the time I am ready to re-read it again, probably in 2-3 years, it(legal ebook version) will be available.
(Although I would not hesitate to use darknet version because I am owning..let me count...5 different versions of LOTR. Plus one paperback is donated to Oxfam) 1 2 3 4 last but not least 5 Last edited by astra; 06-08-2008 at 10:41 AM. |

Ok,
Gotta say the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series is an Epic... some of those books were huge in their own right. BOb |

Anthony Powell's 'A Dance to the Music of Time'. Twelve novels in four "Movements". I started reading in the early- or mid-fifties, and had to wait until each new novel would come out and appear at my local Free Carnegie Library (the city library). I don't believe they are in ebooks.

For epic fantasy I'd say LotR, Martin's Song of Ice & Fire and Erickson's Malazan Books of the Fallen, are some of my favorites.

The "Space Trilogy" or "Ransom Trilogy" series by C.S. Lewis. I loved them, but they were a pain to carry as one volume.

Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' - a great read, but a hefty one.
Peter F. Hamilton's SF tomes are wrist breakers too, but worth it! |

There is a book, the name of which escapes me, that I would love to have on my Kindle. It is called something like: "The History of the Isle." Basically a history of the British Isles fro mpre-history ot modern times. I keep trying to read it, but the dropping of the book when I finally succumb to sleep keeps me losing my place. Frustrating. Plus it is too big to lug around for interstitial reading. I have it at home and Amazon seems to be down again today, so I can't look it up.

I'm intrigued by the homocidal ewwy gooey species. Somewhere in my dust collection (p-book shelf), I have a follow up short story, where V has to go back to the desert dead place and open a can of whup-bottom on them critters, once and for all. |
