Epic sequences to immerse yourself in

[NothingIsOK]

Hello book people of mn. I didn't know you were here before today, but I'm very glad to find you.

I am currently obsessed with reading sequences of novels. Preferably great long series covering generations or a whole patch of time and place.

Does anyone else have this particular literary itch?

My current find is the Rougon-Macquart sequence by Zola. I've just finished The Belly of Paris. Three down, 17 to go and I couldn't be happier. There is something so comforting about knowing I won't run out of great reading material for good while.

What other great sequences might I have missed? Happy to share my previous finds if there are other posters interested.

Oh yes I remember wading through the Thomas Covenant series - must be 30 years ago?
Was it James Clavell? Shogun series?

Terry Goodkind has written a huge fantasy series starting with 'Wizards First Rule'. I have only read the first four, but his imagination is extraordinary.

Also loved Game of Thrones. Truly epic.
