Hey Celebrity Fan: Here's an idea. Rather than try a recent series, why not try a classic, say like Huckleberry Finn, and then compare Huck to Harry. You will find some real similarities between them, and you'll find some differences, too. People complain that HP books are too dark, but HF has a very dark side. Comparing and contrasting characters in what appear to be dissimilar books is a great way to learn something from both. Merely a suggestion. Keep on reading.

I'm currently reading 'The Wheel of Time' series by Robert Jordan, and they're very good. There's (I think) 11 so far. I also like the 'Avalon' series by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
Personally, I find the 'Narnia' series too kiddie for me. And though I love Tolkien, and 'The Lord of the Rings' books, they are a bit tedious. Tolkien was great at making a world and it's history, though his writing skills weren't the best.

How about "The Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan? There's eleven books so far. Or maybe you could look in the fantasy/sci-fi section of your local bookstore and see if there are any series that interest you. That's what I usually do when I'm looking for a new series to buy.

Have you read the Narnia Chronicles, yet? They may seem a bit young, but I have found that even adults like them. There are seven in the series, and are much, much better than the movie that just came out.
If you think you're up for it you might start with Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and then go on to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The Wind Singer by William Nicholson is beautiful
Lord of The Rings? J R R Tolkien
The Belgariad- David Eddings (he has a few other series' too)
David Gamell has a a few good books that follow each other, I don't know the name of the series..
The Diskworld Novels- by Terry Pratchett is meant o be really good- though I haven't had the chance to read it myself. I read a few of his other books and they are magical
good luck

I like the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (seven books so far), Starts with "Wizards first Rule" The writing is good but does tend to get a little preachy and sometimes repetitive but the story line is very good and the character development is too.

Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. It's a classic in fantasy/sf.
Marian Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series. Another classic.
Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series. It's currently on hiatus.
Lynn Flewelling's Nighrunner series, my favorite of the bunch. She's currently working on the 4th installment. She also wrote another series that is now resolved called The Tamir Triad. It's also one of my faves.

Try the Earth's Children series by Jean Auel. The first book is "Clan of the Cave Bear". There are five or six books in that series.
