The Best Series in Literature

There's pretty much everything in this list for readers in terms of genres. I will admit that I'm not the greatest fan of fantasy and science-fiction novels, and thus while there are some obvious series in those genres on my list, it explains why I haven't included other ones. As you'll see, I've included the individual novels in each series, and then a 'tile' at the end that represents the entire series. That allows readers who haven't yet finished a series to click on the books they have read. Hope you enjoy!
