I really like Harry Potter, LOTR, The dark tower series, and The song of Ice and Fire. What would be similar and fun to read.

Peirs Anthony has a series that was produced long ago where the main characters are Death, Time, War, and other such "people". Each book follows one of the charactes, however the others travelk in and out of the stories.
The first book in the series is "On A Pale Horse"
Terry Brooks has a trilogy called the Shannara series: The Sword of Sannara, the Elfstones of Shannara, and The Wishsong of Shannara.
He also had a series called the Magic Kingdom of Landover Series, which starts with "Magic Kingdom for Sale: Sold"

the "Ender's Game" series by Orson Scott Card
It's basically a sci-fi type novel perfect for any age.
***
Book Description: In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut—young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.
Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister.
Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives.

If it sounds childish to you, it isn't. Trust me. You won't be disappointed.
It's an excellent series. In fact, it received both Hugo and Nebula Awards and received an average score of 4.5 stars (out of 5) from 2315 customer reviews on Amazon.com.

Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Dirk Gently series are always a fun read.
Catch-22 by Joesph Heller and Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole are also quite insightful and amusing, but they're not part of any series (well, any good one in the case of Catch-22).

It's not exactly a series, but The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are great books that are impossible to put down.

The Harry Potter sequence-- it is a classic. i've got examine each e book a minimum of two cases. and that i enjoyed the sequence of unlucky activities. i like Lemony Snicket's humor. His books, even although they are needless to say fictional and in specific situations stupid, can somewhat instruct you techniques existence can circulate incorrect once you least anticipate it and you're gotta make the final from what you have have been given.

Bloodstone Chronicles. They are fun and similar to the ones you listed. Also check out C.S. Lewis's space trilogy. (Silent Planet, Palandra, and That Hideous Strength) Very fun books
