I am 58 and have been reading sci-fi/fantasy and mysteries, adventure/thrillers and such for about 45 years. I have read well over 565,000 books in my life and have only slowed down a little bit. You might want to try these authors if you like series' types books: Jane Lindskold's "Wolf" series, Dennis McKiernan's books(anything but The Cavern's of Socrates that even he says was not one of his best works), David Drakes Lord of the Isles series, Fred Saberhagen's 'Vampire' series where Dracula is actually the good guy. Roger Zelazny's Amber series. H. Beam Piper's Little Fuzzy series. Raymond Feist's books (any), old books by H. Rider Haggard and last but not least Robert E. Howard's Conan series. Happy reading.

The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis are great. The Green Mile by Stephen King was originally written as a series of books and is a good read. I too enjoyed the Harry Potter books and I'm 50. A good book is a good book and can be enjoyed at any age.

Since you enjoy Harry Potter, I would definitely recommend the Pendragon Series by D.J. MacHale. I started reading them during a lull in the making of the Harry Potter books, and now I'm waiting for the next one of these too. They are a little more towards the Sci-Fi part of fantasy and adventure, but just as good.

Raymond Feist, any and all.
Christopher Paolini - Eragon / Eldest
Depending on which Eddings books, try out some of the other series they have written beside Belgariad and Mallorean.
Julian May, any books (Start with "The MultiColored Land")
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King (give it a shot)
The Dune series, Frank Herbert

I have two suggestions
try anything by Charles De Lint, he writes what he refers to as "Urban Fantasy", stories that have all the normal fantasy ideas, but that take place in a more recognisable setting such as modern day capital cities. Try his "Newford Series" thye're great and tend to have more adult themes.
Also try "The Golden Compass Series" By Phillip Pullman. It's reccommended for a Youth Audience, but I am 34 and loved it. If you liked the Harry Potter Books (Which I Love) then you'll love this series.

I LOVE the books by R.A. Salvatore. He has a series of books about the dark elf, Drizzt. They are excellent books! At first I didnt want to read them (my ex husband had them all) but one day when I had nothing else to read, I picked one up and I couldnt put the series down. They are awsome. Go check them out:
The books about Drizzt include:
Wizards of the Coast
Homeland
Exile
Sojourn
The Crystal Shard
Streams of Silver
The Halfling's Gem
The Legacy
Starless Night
Siege of Darkness
Passage to Dawn

while you're keen to supply in on the historic element, The Romance of the three Kingdoms is a great study, and you does no longer ought to hold to any extent further books - you will possibly get 3 weeks out of it relatively, in all probability basically end 0.5 of it until eventually now you got here residing house. it relatively is not precisely alongside the lines of what you seem to study on a typical foundation, regardless of if this is a great novel, and has the further great thing approximately helping you to stumble upon yet another way of existence by using literature. the interpretation i prefer to propose is via Moss Roberts, and it relatively is attainable in mass-marketplace paperback version (4 volumes) from distant places Languages Press.

If you like fantasy novels with strong men AND strong women, try the works of Ellen Anthony. Titles I know are in print include THE MANHUNTER, SEARCH FOR THE SUN, and TOO YOUNG A KING. I've heard rumors that THE BLOOD CIRCLE is coming back, too. I wish she'd get some more written.

There is a dragon series by Anne McCaffrey. They are older books. I don't know if they still sell. Some titles are Dragondrums, Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern, Dragonflight, Dragonquest, The White Dragon, and others.
