The Big List of the Best and Most Popular Book Series of All Time

This list includes the best and most popular book series of all time. It's an eclectic mix that includes series from every genre in literature. There's no denying, however, that science fiction and fantasy novels come in series form more than other genres. I've ensured, however, that series from each genre and for each demographic of reader is included.
In terms of how it works, I've included the individual novels of a series first, and then have a 'tile' after the last novel in the series that represents the entire series. So, if you've read only some of the novels but not all, you click on the ones you've read, but not on the final 'series' tile. And of course, if you've read them all, you can then click on the 'series' tile. And the quality of the series does NOT gradually dissipate as the list goes on - I think it's quite steady throughout in terms of quality and diversity. Enjoy!
